Fantastic addition to my collection, and when I saw the book arrived from another local Rhode Islander, it made the purchase all the better! Condition as described, carefully packaged, and speedy shipping. Athough the book has an inscription from prior owner (accurately disclosed by seller), I was so pleased to see the book was originally a prom dance gift from 1876. How wonderful! Thank you for a transparent and seamless buying experience, and your book will be in great hands! Trusted seller!

The book is just as beautiful as it was described. The seller sent it extremely quickly and wrapped it very carefully. I was lucky to receive it at such a great value. I highly recommend seller and I hope to buy from them again.
