Shipping was fast but no tracking and worst packaging ever.. like the box came banged up... send a question to seller never had a reply 😅.... Good product overall, excellent price, fast shipping, wrapped only on 4 sides out of 6, no tracking and never reply... 4★ product / 2★ seller ✌️

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

  • A Great Book (from a Not-So-Great Dealer)

    Heaney's reputation among the literary lights of the last century--and this one--really needs no further comment. Suffice to say, he will be remembered as the natural inheritor of Yeats's mantle and surely one of the most significant poet-critics since Eliot. No doubt, those ordering a first edition of this title already understand its significance and its value beyond the money spent.
