I wanted to thank you for the quality of this product as well as the way it was shipped. Not only did it arrive prior to the estimate but it was carefully wrapped. It is appreciated.
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!
