I am not one for normally leaving feedback, however, this experience was exceptional. The book arrived incredibly well packaged. Like it was professionally wrapped and packed. Shipped promptly and received. The seller also was great on a follow up question regarding history of the book.

Excellent old history in perfect condition, like new. Book clean and crisp with absolutely no damage as described. Publication date 1930. Very quickly shipped. Very securely wrapped against weather and handling damage. A bit dear but you certainly get what you pay for.
