- s***s (5)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchase‘Heston's Fantastical Feasts’ was priced reasonably and described (mostly) accurately in the listing. The outside appearance is "Very Good", as stated, but the inside is closer to "Good", due to minor marking. The book arrived within the “Estimated Delivery” window, and it was packaged in a bubble wrap envelope. Overall, I am satisfied with my purchase from "Catholic Charities Books".Heston's Fantastical Feasts (#335791892104)
