Average:

Fantastic collection of the books - I sincerely enjoy it. The seller is very courteous, and makes sure that the buyer received their purchase. They reached out to me as soon as I bought the archive. I will certainly be coming back for more books!


Aside from minor issues with path length in Windows fixed via quick response from seller (good cust service) the collection was everything I'd hoped for in terms of aviation knowledge in the early days of flight and is a great resource and of interest to anybody looking at early technology.


Great seller treasure trove of books 👍
