The Colton map arrived today (5/11) and looks GREAT! It is a beautiful piece of work, and was securely packaged and protected. I really am pleased with your quick and friendly service -- and I am glad to make a purchase from a family run business!
I wanted you to know that my book arrived in about 3 days in perfect condition. I am not an expert in grading book conditions, but to call this book very good with very good dust jacket is a true understatement. This book is pristine and immaculate. The book was wrapped in tissue, then wrapped in corrugated stuff and then wrapped in brown wrapping paper. I buy a lot of books on line and have never received a book so carefully prepared for shipping. It is refreshing to get such professional attention and I hope I can find more books at your place.
