We have sold over 200,000 books over the years, both on-line and in our bookstore, including a fair amount to Great Britain and many other locations worldwide. You can count on professional results from us as far as customer service goes. Our quantity of books may not be as large as most dealers but what we have in inventory are quality books accurately described (all with pictures) and professionally packaged and shipped.
