  1. Fantastic seller. Contacted me almost immediately with shipping details and an explanation about a potential delay due to the Juneteeth holiday. Book was wrapped in a ridiculous amount of bubble wrap so it would arrive safely. So awesome to have a book from the early 1800s on free trade. This was absolutely a great value and would buy from again! I have zero complaints.

  2. Books arrived in perfect condition and why shouldn't they? A very careful and deliberate packaging like this would guarantee anything safe arrival, and shipping cost was very reasonable as well. A great value for a better-than-described item. Hope we can do business again sometime.
