Excellent service/communication. I bought 2 books, published 1976 &1981 respectively - both in excellent condition (better than described). Great value, postage fine. Well packed (no way were these books going to be damaged in transit!). Considering, at the time of posting, a war had started in the Middle East, they got from Ireland to Australia in 17 days. Very impressive (thanks to An Post and Australia Post). The books are marvellous. I am well pleased and highly recommend this seller.
The packaging was appropriate and the book arrived safely. The vendor description did not enable me to know what the book was: I expected Skeat's C-text (for no good reason from any description details) and received Skeat's B-text, which was in fact what I wanted more. Why an English text should be described to me in French is a further puzzle. Why the vendor should, in response to a delivery enquiry, cite Donald Trump, is also a puzzle: Trump is not our Prime Minister.
Most importantly, the condition of the book was as specified, although the listing photos could have been clearer and more accurate. Delivery (from Ireland to the UK) was also reasonably fast. The price was steep for this out-of-print publication, but I was willing to pay it. Good packaging was used to protect the book -- a substantial cardboard outer, plus a bubble-wrap inner, wrapped around the book. This meant the book arrived safe and well. Thanks for that.
