A++++, thank you! Map arrived exactly as described. Shipping and packaging were quick and secure, with a nice solid shipping tube provided for the rolled up map.

I ordered to prints from the seller-- both are absolutely lovely, and as described. Seller was responsive; when I asked if he could ship both prints together, he was happy to do so and refunded the price of shipping for one of the purchases. Prints were packaged well-- would buy from this seller again.
