  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. unfortunately when i opened the parcel this wasn’t the book i had expected , however i contacted the seller and even though it wasn’t anybody’s fault, the seller offered a refund without no quibble, i am waiting the return label, but in my mind any company that is willing to adress these minor issues gets a high mark from me therefore I recommend this seller to all.
