Professional, responsible seller. Really cool ephemera from a vast supply. Everything was wrapped perfectly and in wonderful shape - better than expected! These items were not inexpensive, but they were worth what I paid. I bought several items (see photo) and the shipping discount was appreciated. Highly recommend this seller as a go-to if you are looking for hard-to-find, priceless Broadway items. Paul was great to work with.

I have always been a fan of the Barrymore family and was quite glad to get my hands on this program. Pricing was reasonable, packaging was acceptable, and shipping did not take too long. As usual with this seller, the description of this playbill was excellent. I am quite content with this purchase.
