Not too taxing, perhaps a tad bothersome but I can live with that.

All good, though it is annoying to have "County" as a required field, especially for London addresses!

Clean, easy to use basket
July 20, 2021

Clean, easy to use basket. Would appreciate PayPal but not essential, I understand they can be robbing bastards with their fees. Thanks for selling used books and not being Amazon, you beautiful people.

It was a bit odd
July 19, 2021

It was a bit odd - a day or so ago I put this volume in my basket, but when I logged in, it had disappeared!

I'm glad to have found that it has returned to your site and I have been able to complete this purchase.

Prefer to pay via PayPal

Prefer to pay via PayPal. Old fashioned look and feel to site. But then I did find what I wanted!

The price is deceptive because the shipping prices can sometimes be so high and it doesn't show you that until the very end.

First time buying with you
July 16, 2021

First time buying with you. Better choice of children's history books. For a 12 year old hard to find. I also am looking for 19th century kids history books.
