    This was a tremendous experience. My book arrived individually wrapped, with careful padding and a box, seemingly just days after my order. I couldn't be more impressed with the service. Shipping was actually more than the seller charged me, but they spared no expense in making sure everything arrived safely. Communication was also on point. Exactly as described, and a great price to match. Please buy with total confidence. This seller is a professional in every sense.

  • Understanding Illuminated Manuscripts

    Excellent book, not very common. I use it for research and reference, so pristine condition was not important to me. It’s a good solid copy, obviously used, but stable and not falling apart by any means. Price of this book was unbelievably affordable. Very pleased!
