The overall condition is great and a nice addition to my collection, and far better, candidly, than I expected. It has been a pleasure dealing with both you and your colleague.

What a blazing fast delivery ! Must be the heat .... Thanks very much - the books did not disappoint. As described, well packed, well priced, and delivered speedily (and without tripping a tax invoice from Canada Revenue Agency, which is a bonus). I could not have hoped for more.
