    I must say from the very beginning of this transaction that everything went smooth. The seller gave me a good quality product for a great price that was brand new and appeared to be better than what was pictured. I plan on purchasing more products in the near future from this seller. The product was shipped and packaged with care and love. Magnificent communication and all of what I said makes this seller a great asset to the eBay community as well as the marketplace.

    Fantastic seller. Books were packaged safely & with love, and as described. Great deal for the money considering the condition they’re in. Shipping was lighting fast.

The quality & selection of there rare/collectible books is unmatched, and the flexibility on price is the icing on the cake. +1 for great communication.

  • A Classic

    A classic by any definition! One of my all time favorites. Especially love “Who Am I Today?” That piece really defines Vonnegut.
