I received my book by Frans Masereel in the mail this afternoon. I couldn't be more delighted. It's in excellent condition, and your shipping and customer service were first rate. This was my first experience purchasing a rare book online -- thanks for making it a good one.
I just received my book today, and I wanted to thank you for the very prompt shipping. I was especially happy (and a little surprised) to see that you upgraded the shipment to UPS Ground. As to the condition of the book you are right; it is a solid Very Good, at least. Thank you all around for your professionalism.
