Reviews

  1. Alex Rodnies

    The order was shipped promptly, securely wrapped, the content was preserved, free from underlining and markings. Although they were stamped from library, the Seller has an eye for rare findings. These will propel my researchs well beyond what is covered in physical classes. A bit pricey, but worth the investment. As Sir William Osler states: “It is hard for me to speak of the value of libraries in terms which would not seem exaggerated… I have received incalculable benefits.”

    Lovely volume, Oxford University Press for the publisher. Shows in the quality. Arrived safely and well wrapped. Sadly purchased as a gift so will not enter my library but it was a close call such was the quality. If I was keeping would clean the surface of the vellum which is in great condition and have replacement boards/linings . Thank you so much. Great ebayer and tracking
