Item is as advertised, was packed with some care, and eventually arrived. Book is quite pretty, but the printing is a bit sparse and some letters are almost faded. Natheless I did not have this partiticular authors work in my library, so it was a good value. Shipping took a very long time and there was no communication as to when it was shipped or when it could be expected to arrive. So two stars off for shipping time and one star off for communication.
I didn't read the description very well, and didn't really have an idea that I'd ordered a hand-made book from India. I waited 3-4 weeks or so and contacted the seller. The prompt response was that the book was in the gilting process of processing or something. So I became excited, sat back and waited. A beautiful book arrived actually 1 week ahead of schedule. This printer re-prints harder-to-find classic books. Would 100% order again. A great gift item.
I am very pleased with the reproduced book of Daniel & Revelation. The book is gorgeous with clear type n has raised ribs on spine clad with leather as described. There was confusion with tracking by the courier but to my surprise the book arrived even without tracking availability, or notification and an extended delay. I very much recommend this publisher for reprinted rare books Thank you and have a nice day.
