- y***0 (345)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseA++++++ Seller they gave me a great price and shipped it immediately and communicated friendly. Shipping literally took days and when it arrived it was packaged thoughtfully. The book is brand new, never read, so much value for thr price. These guys are great and always have the best inventory. I definitely recommend this seller to anyone who wants quality books at a great price. Thank you for a great transaction.Crystal Grids: Master the secrets of manifestation (#296474555593)
- f***- (225)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI was initially a bit hesitant about purchasing this fairly priced book (listed as being in very good used condition), given the lack of provided images. However, the book arrived promptly, was well-packaged, and after inspecting it, I’d say it’s in even better condition than advertised. I’m honestly amazed at how the first owner managed to read it without opening it more than a few inches (an unbroken back)! Very pleased with the transaction and would definitely buy from this seller again.Tarzan the Magnificent: Edgar Rice Burroughs Authorized Library (#296869814907)
- f***n (351)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseItem arrived in the condition described- just about comparable to what I’d expect in the bookstore, but at a better price. The item arrived promptly, was well (not overly) packaged, and the transaction was smooth and easy. I’d work with this seller again, thanks!Hollywoodland (Images of America) (#296938708132)
