    Fantastic addition to my collection, and when I saw the book arrived from another local Rhode Islander, it made the purchase all the better! Condition as described, carefully packaged, and speedy shipping. Athough the book has an inscription from prior owner (accurately disclosed by seller), I was so pleased to see the book was originally a prom dance gift from 1876. How wonderful! Thank you for a transparent and seamless buying experience, and your book will be in great hands! Trusted seller!

    Good condition copy of an old book from the 1990s. Missing the insert booklet with reference material but you can’t have everything. Cover scuffed as described but interior and binding good. Packed in a plastic bag, inside a card sleeve for armour, and inside a padded envelope - thank you for looking after the book in transit. Posted in good time. Top eBayer! Made my day to get the book today!
