- e***v (126)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseOverall, it went well. Good communication. I wanted the book to be shipped in a box, because the value and scarcity of the volume I purchased deserved it, however, the company is too large and I was informed the book would be shipped in a plastic mailer. Somehow it didn’t arrive very damaged, a little bump, but for the price I can’t complain. Over all I am satisfied, but if you’re a book collector, as I am, you may want to find another seller.Aurora: The Dayspring, or Dawning of the Day in the East, Boehme, Jacob, 9781558 (#236039083546)
- s***a (767)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThis company has been, in my experience, a mixed bag. This title was NOT worth the price because it came with highlighting, ink underlineing & writing in the margins...not the quality that they advertised. I have on other occasions gotten books in great condition, however, that were listed in less than the condition advertised so it goes both ways...but I'd much prefer a company that delivers exactly what they advertise. I guess good help is hard to find. The book was well packaged & came fast.
- a***a (14)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe shipping was quicker than I expected and book condition was exactly as advertised! Price I paid also was fair and reasonable so I could purchase. The appearance of the book showed no indication of tear or damage and book was wrapped very good and tight. I recommend this seller for his best customer service!The Book of the Revelation: A Commentary Based on a Study of Twenty-Three Psychi (#335856777005)
