My feedback is positive also if near the reproductions of the drawing there is the stamp of library and this note didn't appear on sales advice and when a book shows the stamp of library loose value.

Molti problemi causa SDA, un non-corriere che non consegna e mente: ma il venditore è stato molto attivo e disponibile e alla fine il libro mi è arrivato con un diverso corriere. Libro molto bello.
