Always a pleasure to purchase from this seller. Quality items at good prices. Better than described. Awestruck by the age of the volume. Reading the name of a previous owner from almost 350 years ago sends a strange shiver of connection to a person from so long ago. Combined with free express shipping in well-secured packaging, this seller cannot be rated highly enough.
