    Item is in perfect condition! It is exactly as described in the description/photos. The seller was incredibly prompt with postage (I am genuinely surprised how fast it arrived!). Postage costs were fair. Item was packaged thoroughly and there was not a hint of damage whilst it made its way to me. Very impressed, item was of fair value given it's rarity and I would recommend in this seller again.

    Excellent transaction. Great copy of The Forbidden Holiday by Olive Dougan exactly as described. It was sold for a very reasonable price, safely and securely packed, sent and received amazingly quickly. (Arrived the day after I placed my order, couldn't have been quicker.) All good!
