I just wanted to let you know that my order has just arrived. Brilliant! Your service is really outstanding, I'll be sure to let others know. Thank you very much! It's been a pleasure doing business with you.
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!
