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

I couldn't be happier :-)

Thanks to Sentanta books, I was able to get my hands on a rather rare book in perfect condition. The book was shipped really fast and carefully packaged. Excellent service!

Excellent service the book I received…

Excellent service the book I received was beautiful and packaged very carefully.

With post being slower than normal at this time I was very happy to find the seller had emailed me the day he posted the book to say it was on the way.

Superb experience

Superb experience - so often rare books bought online aren't packaged well and the like, but Setanta seem thoroughly reliable and take care of what they're sending you in a way that others often neglect to.

Excellent service

Excellent service! The first edition signed HB I ordered was a fair price, was well-packaged, posted promptly and communication from the vendor was very good. I would thoroughly recommend this bookseller and hope to buy from Keith again in future.

Brilliant shop for photobooks

Brilliant shop for photobooks with a great selection of hard to find books. Keith replied promptly to my questions before buying and sent the parcel the next working day. Books arrived safely and well packed to Denmark less than a week later.
Highly recommended.
