- l***e (7)- Feedback left by buyer.Past yearVerified purchaseVery smooth transaction with the seller. Once my offer was accepted, I got the notification and it was prepared and shipped soon after. The condition of the books was great, considering these are more than 20 years old. Shipping cost was understandable, the box was super heavy. It arrived with one side of the box torn but that was probably a USPS thing given how heavy the box was. 100% recommend the seller and these books based on my experience.
