This book is just lovely! 💕 📚 and so beautifully wrapped! 🎁 - plus delightful to be receiving such a sweet thoughtfulness as a personal styled photo, to embellish the joyful gift-wrapping!!!
Karen is a stylish seller - AND generous in spirit.
The book itself is just as described. I adore its Edwardian features: its gilded top fore-edge, the cut edges of the gatherings, and the elegant design of the front board, as well as the truly unique font and layout of the text, which makes it easy to read ( I’ve lost my right eye ) and these features make reading more pleasurable for me!
A jewel of a shop, with the added bonus of an owner who kept me continuously updated on the shipping status of my purchase, in every step of the journey across the US and Australian postal and courier systems.
