Lost the book and had no idea they lost it. Had to wait 3 months to find that out. Customer support got defensive and blamed everyone else but themselves. Spoke to someone named Sofia Krysiak. F... See more

What can I say?

What can I say?
I'm a sucker for photoshoots and designer brands, I love books and I think that companies that combine these are too scarce for us in the market.
Especially those that actually do it with passion and produce such beautiful books.
When a friend told me about them, I feared it will be costly, but no. Good prices, almost too good to true.
A must for anyone to shop!

Wonderful

Wonderful! I received the book so quickly, and because the original dust jacket was damaged, a facsimile was included as well. Nice touch!

Great service

Keith of Setanta books was more than helpful in finding a title I was after. Postage was swift, the condition of the book as advertised; the price, which included postage, very reasonable. Altogether an excellent service and to be recommended.

I had been looking a long time for this book.

I managed to find the book I had been looking for for a long time, that was in the condition I wanted. Hardback, first edition, first impression, condition fine, with jacket, not price clipped, no previous owners mark.
I bought it from Setanta books at a very fair price. In fact it was a lower price than a few books that I had looked at over the years, that were in no where near as good a condition.
Well packaged and delivered very quickly. Very good communication, highly recommended.
