Where do I start? First of all, LOVELY people, so kind and cheerful and helpful in DMs, they're great (and fast) at communication, and they didn't make me feel awkward for asking so many questions. They packaged the books with so much care, they shipped it so fast, and they gave me a wonderful deal on three books. It truly made my birthday. How they communicate with buyers, their dedication to excellent wrapping and packaging, and their care for quality books, they care about what they do!
The first edition, first print, signed hardcover of "Shadow's End," by Sheri S. Tepper is as pictured & described. Got a great deal. Great communication! The book has a mylar cover & was wrapped in bubble wrap & placed in a sturdy box. Fort Knox in a Box! Arrived quickly & safely into my eager hands. So happy to have this beautiful, signed first edition to add to my growing library! Thank you for your care & attention!!!!!!Seller Highly Recommended!!!!!
Wonderful experience with this buyer! Communication was amazing through the whole process and seller was QUICK to send when I explained that it was needed for a special occasion. I appreciate the care that was put into packaging and the quick shipping. Thank you so much! Would purchase from again!
