Very prompt delivery, and the books I've looked at so far are digh-quality digital versions and very interesting Bear in mind that these are, as advertised, OLD books, so are sometimes a little dated in light of recent discoveries, but they really do constitute a treasure trove of info about Zoroastrianism. Definitely met my expectations. I've now bought 5 collections from this vendor and they are all of the same high standard.
