Absolutely PERFECT transaction! I ordered this book mid April, and when I hadn't seen any activity for a few days I decided to contact the seller (normally items paid are usually shipped within 2-3 days and this was going a week, so it raised a red flag). Due to my own ignorance, I was reassured immediately that the book's cover was being hand crafted and would take time, explaining the extra time. Long story short, this was worth the wait!Very responsive seller, HIGHLY recommended. THANK YOU!

Everything is fine, but the seller told me I could have an engraving placed on the cover. I sent them a picture of the engraving, and they acknowledged they got it, but when I got the item they never did it. In addition they claim they never got my picture which is not true, seeing I have their email response. I was disappointed by this, but I would have gotten this book even without the engraving, so all is well.
