- 1***a (31)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI grew up reading this book and finally found it available at the Pretty Library. They were very prompt in communication and having the book shipped to Germany, also getting in touch later to check if I am satisfied with the quality. The book is exactly as described and in mint condition. The packaging has sufficient padding and bubble wrapping to ensure the book arrives safe and sound. I would highly recommend this store to everyone. Thank you and it was a pleasure doing business with you!
- e***t (433)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI really rate Pretty Library - a curteous seller who cares. My purchase (a First Edition) was sent promptly and wrapped in plenty of bubble wrap so it didn't suffer any damage in transit. The book was as photographed and described. I've had some bad experiences using other ebay book sellers who post their items in flimsy plastic envelopes without any protection, hence, I've learnt the hard way that cheapest isn't always better.
- u***u (954)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseSuper fast delivery of a brilliant find. This has been one of the most pleasant transactions i have experienced as the seller has provided regular updates on the dispatch and delivery of the book. The book was well described and really well packaged. It arrived in excellent condition and i feel was really good value for a book of its age and rarity. I am so pleased to have found this seller and have saved them for future purchases. Highly recommended.
