We recognise that when buying books over the internet there are various aspects that are important.

1. The book should be as described.
2. Buying the book should be a straightforward process.
3. Books should be well packed, protecting corners to ensure that they are not bumped.
4. A speedy service should be provided.
5. The client should be informed when the book has been posted or if there is going to be a delay.

We aim to satisfy all these points and we receive many positive emails by way of feedback. A selection of them is given below.

If you have any comments we would be pleased to hear from you.

Thank you very much for the book order which arrived at my professional address yesterday. As on a previous occasion, I remain greatly impressed by the expeditious way in which the order was processed and delivered, and the presentation was exceptional.

Just to say thanks for this parcel of books!

There is something respectful of old wisdom in the way you carefully wrap
each book. Even if a book be well-handled and a bit dog-eared, the fact that
it is wrapped gives it, for me, the status of a present - something worth
presenting. I value the book the more.

So: thank you! You are providing a marvellous resource for my (rather
belated) horological education!

The book arrived this morning, packed to Olympic standard and probably capable of withstanding a nuclear attack.
The description of the condition was "a very good copy with good dust jacket." I think it merits a far better description . I would have said at least "excellent" or "mint."
If this book warranted "a very good copy" I would very much like to see an example which you awarded a higher accolade!
Brilliant service - thank you very much.

This is the second order I've placed with you. Each time I have been hugely
impressed with how conscientiously and carefully the books have been packed.
I know of no other supplier who takes the trouble that you do to make sure
the books arrive undamaged. Can I congratulate you on the standard you set
for the industry. Well done! I wish more booksellers would follow your
example.
