- m***4 (36)- Feedback left by buyer.Past yearVerified purchaseI ordered History of the Horoscope book for my husband for Christmas. We both love occult books and i wanted to buy him another David Ovason title to follow his enjoyment of The Zelator. I was impressed by the standard of packaging the book arrived in. Time had been taken to double wrap with both inner and outer packaging. The book was also as described as a 'Lovely copy' and arrived just as described. Thank you for such excellent service. 5* seller! I would highly recommend.
