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, For three days I received Reynard the Fox (goethe, Arnold). The package was in good order and the book in perfect health. It fits very well my Reynard (and fable) collection. Thanks.
