Buy with Confidence – I’ve been a specialist art & craft bookseller
for many years and pack all orders personally with special care. I use extra
protection on edges & corners to minimise the risk of Postal Damage.
Despite being
restricted by Royal Mail’s size and weight limitations, I’ll never send an
