Great books!
Ordered a long searched book from Keith following a few queries over “ask the seller a question” Keith was really helpful - book carefully wrapped and posted - thrilled with my new purchase!
Great Bookseller!
The book I ordered was as described, if not better, packaged carefully, and shipped promptly. Keith even notified me when he mailed my book. This kind of attention to detail is uncommon and much appreciated.
Very good and serious service
I ordered a book for pre-order and Keith emailed me for order tracking.
The book arrived very carefully packaged and on time. Very good order tracking and very quick responses.
Thank you for the seriousness, it's a real pleasure.
Excellent Service
Very speedy service, the book was as described and arrived beautifully packaged. I also received an email from the seller to inform me that the book had been posted, which you don't often get with abebooks purchases.
Excellent service and experience.
I ordered a hard to find first edition book from Satanta Books and have been nothing but pleased with the experience.
Keith was shipped the book promptly and has consistently been quick to respond and provide updates. Due to the COVID-19 outbreak the shipping took longer than normal, which is to be expected when transatlantic flight near stop, but Keith remained responsive and friendly throughout.
The book arrived well packaged and protected, in perfect condition, as described. I have absolutely no complaints. :)
Superb service.
I ordered a book from Setanta Books that was not in stock at the publisher, Amazon UK and Waterstones. The author (who is also a photographer) had been interviewed that day on Woman’s Hour. Setanta Books had the book in stock, I ordered it and and it was despatched promptly to me by post, arriving the very next day. Efficient and superb service.
Perfect
The service is perfect. If necessary, we have quick responses by email.
Service in Seattle
I live in Seattle, Wa, U.S. and ordered a book from Setanta that I couldn't find anywhere else. I received personal service, exchanging emails with Keith. Due to Covid 19, mail service was a bit slow, but I was kept apprised of what was happening. I will gladly buy from them again!!
Great service and quick postage.
Ordered books online, received them quickly and extremely pleased with the quality of the books and service.
Great book, great service!
We love our copy of The Road Not Taken (Arnaud Montagard), thank you Keith for sending us our copy in the midst of the COVID crisis!
Fantastic
Keith has been an absolute pleasure to deal with. Book supplied was as described, securely shipped and arrived in New Zealand without a scratch, in a good time frame. Communication from the store was fantastic, and will certainly be purchasing again in the future. Thanks very much.
Service could not be better
Service could not be better. E-mail to confirm posting and book arrived less than 24hrs later well wrapped and exactly as described.

The package was shipped very fast and packed in perfect conditions to protect the books. I was emailed to keep me informed of every steps of the process and eve received a very nice present with my order. A perfect experience, thanks a lot !!
My record was shipped very quickly
My record was shipped very quickly, the global pandemic caused the parcel to make it's way to the USA a little slower than expected so when I checked in the response time to my questions was incredibly fast and friendly to boot. The record showed up and I'm as pleased as punch. Thanks so much!
