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!
Dear Sir, I received two autographed letters yesterday, much faster than I expected! I'm a fan of Anne Morrow Lindbergh and I happened to find this item when I was browsing her books... The letters look great and I'm very happy to read her own writing in my hand. Thank you very much for your great business.
