  1. I recently discovered Folio Society books and purchased a number of them from this site to add to my library of Easton Press books. I had a positive experience with each seller. They carefully wrapped the books in packing material to prevent damage during shipping. The books arrived in the condition described. I am looking forward to reading each and every one. I recommend them all.

  2. Product was just as described, it was a fair price, delivery was slow due to the snow storm Fern, my only concern was the bag it was shipped in had a few cuts in it by the time it arrived, but thankfully it did not damage the item. Overall I would recommend this seller.
