⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An outstanding experience—truly grateful! As a dedicated paperback collector, I look for precision, care, and presentation, and this seller delivered on all fronts. The paperback, featuring breathtaking cover art, arrived in pristine condition, exactly as described. Communication was fast and courteous (even with a hand-signed greeting card), shipping swift, packaging secure, and the shipping cost more than fair. A flawless, satisfying transaction—highly recommended to fellow collectors!
I've been an admirer of Anne Noggle since I saw an exhibit of her work in Rochester, NY, in 1984. I am really excited to have this catalog of her work from a 1980 exhibit. I really appreciate the seller's care with packaging the catalog -- taking care that it wouldn't bend or sustain water damage. Shipping was fast, too. The catalog is just what I expected based on the listing, and I feel it's a really good value. Thank you to the seller!
Fast & easy transaction. Packaged extremely well with a KJV Bible from the same $1.00 sale. Both books arrived in excellent used condition. Better than described. Overall, the two books are an outstanding value and replace a travelling/hospital visitation set I lost many years ago. Communications with the seller were outstanding, she was a true pleasure to do business with and I will watch for future offerings from her. AAAAA+++++
