Not sure what was non mint about this book but a beautiful copy to complement my table and lure in visitors
Fantastic website for unique art and craft books
I love this store, I have found so many unique titles, both for myself and as gifts for friends and family. There are always fantastic offers and the delivery and service is second-to-none. Plus it’s great to be able to support a smaller business and not continue to put money in the pockets of you-know-who.
Brilliant!
Bought this as a Secret Santa present for a friend and know they're going to love it. Arrived on time, excellently packaged and a reasonable price. Very happy with buy. Liam
Awesome images and great text. A great read
