Was shy to spend this much money, but circumstances made it possible to finally do so and am happy with the purchase. It needs cleaning, but exactly as was shown in photos and description, so no surprises whatsoever. It was well-packed and shipped the same day, which was great. It will stay on a wall until I'm long gone; no more re-selling for this painting :) Only comment to seller is no communication or counter offers at all, which was different than most my Ebay experiences I've had thus far.

I was very happy to receive this wonderful volume with its one of a kind inscription commemorating some long ago duck hunt. The book was exactly as described, packaged so as to prevent damage, and the shipping and receiving of the book was rapid. I thought the price of the book was fair given the above mentioned unique inscription. Overall I was very happy with my transaction and highly recommend this seller!
