    I recently purchased from this seller and had a positive experience. The item is good quality and looks nice in person, matching the description provided. Packaged well. It arrived in excellent condition, with no signs of wear. I believe it was a fair price for the quality offered. The shipping was also quick, and I received my order sooner than expected. Overall, I would recommend this seller based on my experience.

    Items arrived on time and were decently packaged. It's always thoughtful when the seller packs their cards in both a penny sleeve AND a card holder. Great job!! The items were as described and in great condition. It's always hard to tell what your going to end up with when photos aren't always clear. Great value to boot! I will be keeping my eye on this seller for future purchases.

    Kate is great

    I have 8 or 9 of Kate Atkinson books. Compelling character development with just the right amount of mystery. I'm reading in chronological order. Love the Jackson character in four of the books.
