    Very impressed - top eBay seller! The 100% rating is well deserved. The condition of this book (from Oakwood Press) was better than many I've purchased new in other bookshops!! I would describe it as immaculate. Price was very competitive indeed, most sellers want a significantly higher price for this secondhand book in not so good condition. Very well packaged with invoice. Arrived as promised - the seller kindly arranged to delay posting as I was away on holiday. Would definitely use again

    Well packed, excellent condition, arrived on time. But not enough info was provided in the seller's description. I thought I'd ordered a catalogue of the paintings exhibited in the 1951 RA Ecole de Paris exhibition - what arrived was an illustrated selection of 'highlights'. My fault I suppose - the covers of both are identical except for the price (the one I received was the more expensive - 2/6 as opposed to 1/-!). But vendor, please in future provide EXACT details of what you're selling.

    Order safely received, very well packed. Book is exactly as described in the posting, mint condition and never been read. Happy to report that the book was undamaged in transit so not bent and no creases. Excellent comms. as well. Very pleased indeed with my purchase. A professional and efficient service from this bookshop. This is how it should be done
