    A rocky start after I had to NUDGE the Seller into checking on my order after MORE than a week with NOTHING happening... But Seller communication was GOOD and the item showed up, well packaged, within the delivery window. Item was well priced, and they had a series that I STRUGGLED to find elsewhere, in NEW condition. I would recommend this seller if you can't find it elsewhere, that's the best I can give them.

    5 stars Great seller—made it right when USPS didn’t. The item was marked as delivered on May 27th to a “reception area,” even though I live in a single-family home. Clearly a USPS error. I reached out to the seller, who responded quickly and assured me the book was on the way. It finally arrived safely on June 7th. Not the seller’s fault, and I appreciate their professionalism and communication throughout. Would buy from them again.

  • the Giving Tree;

    A bittersweet but wonderful story about life and the power of love. Personally I view the tree as if it were one or both his parent/s. They would give their all for their child. This story does not grow old.

  • Book instead of card

    Book is awesome. A note was placed into the book for our first great grandson who will be born in January. The book was used instead of a greeting card for the baby shower. My grandmother use to read this story to me. Now my great grandson can have it read to him.
