    Excellent communication with top tier customer service. I was given an option of hardback or softback books to purchase and told exactly how long each one would take. Upon making my selection I was informed about what that particular type would entail, quality condition, and it was shipped almost right away. The package arrived in good shape, all of the books had all of their pages, exactly as promised. I am very thankful for a wonderful customer experience with this seller. 10/10.

    Main set has arrived safely and sound. Per our conversation, the single from a 3rd source has not yet arrived. Items are as described, good condition, clean. Very happy with communication and quality. As per third photo, do you by any chance have The Black Stallion's Shadow and The Black Stallion's Steeple-Chaser? If so, I would be interested in acquiring those from you, also.

    Excellent seller. Arrived earlier than expected from the USA to the UK, with all books enclosed and all within the conditions I would expect from a used book (some more used than others but all perfectly readable). Communication was excellent, and the price was a bargain for such a large amount of hardback books. Would definitely use again!
