Thank you very much for your prompt service. Less than two weeks from order to delivery (New York to Australia) is unbelievable! The book is in excellent condition and I hope you are doing very well.
The Easton Press Rubens and Dali have just arrived in England - posted on 15th January and arrived here on 17th January. The books are splendid, but how you get out the shipping so quickly I am at a loss to understand! But many thanks
