- c***n (328)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufI am very pleased with the book and the price; however, a suggestion I would make is to pack the book with cardboard surrounding it and place it inside another shipping box. My book bounced around inside the shipping box and it resulted in a bent corner and bent pages.
- n***n (162)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufEnjoyed viewing the 300 plus pages of photos from the 1904 St. Louis World's fair. Makes one wish they could have been there to see it in person. Each time I visit Forest Park I think of what a wonderous event took place here over 120 years ago. Will try to locate the approximate location of the large Ferris Wheel next visit. Great collection of images! Seller communication was great! Book was well packaged, arrived quickly and very satisfied with shipping cost. Thank you.
