Not often that your expectations are exceeded in this day and age, so a big thanks to Coch-Y-Bonddu Books.

Picked up a nice bit of classic reading for under £10, one with nice sketches and pictures for lazy people like me.

My only criticism is that it must have been packaged by someone who likes pass the parcel (only joking, it could have been used as a football by RM and would still be immaculate).

I've ordered 3 or 4 books from these guys via amazon & they are fast, cheap & the books are always as described. If the book was printed in 1979 but it says "mint" then it really is good as new.
The glued card sleeve packaging is excellent too.

Yep, they are pretty efficient.

Coch-Y-Bonddu Books are without doubt a first class supplier of sporting books & whilst you can get a bargain, cheap is not a handle I would hang on them. They are at the top end as regard prices to my mind but like everything else in the crazy world is subjective & open to interpretation.

Have to agree totally with the comments about service made so far. I think you'll find that the books were packed perfectly before they left Cochy's & the damage to the (very good) packaging happened between them & you. However it shows testament to their packaging that your book arrived intact.

I think from analysing the crime scene photo that it's clear where the damage occurred, Kevin my postie would be very hurt if he thought I had wrongly accused him of malicious damage.
