Thanks so much for the great job you did in protecting the book I bought from you! Poor shipping practices among the high volume sellers on abebooks.com is a major issue for me as a book lover, so I've been trying to avoid dealing with the ones I can't trust. It's great to see a seller treat books with respect!
Hello. The book arrived on Friday afternoon, quicker than any previous book I have ordered from he United States! I am glad I was able to benefit from your arrangements with DHL, even for a book of such a modest price. I am certainly happy with the condition of the book. Very many thanks,
