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

Exceeded Expectations
I ordered a Christmas gift and expected it to be late since it would be shipping overseas. Keith emailed me less than 12 hours after my order was placed and it shipped. We received the book on time before Christmas and it was in better condition than expected. We would not hesitate to order from Setana Books again!

Wonderful experience!
It was a great experience working with Keith and Setanta books. He answered my questions promptly, the shipping (even from the U.K. to the U.S.) was speedy, and the book was exactly as described. Would be happy to order from them again. Thank you, Keith!

A book signed by John le Carre!
I bought from Setanta books A Legacy of Spies by John le Carre: first edition, new copy signed himself by author. I'm so glad now having John le Carre autograph.
The parcel was very carefully prepared. Many, many thanks!

Given that this was a transatlantic shipment, I appreciated the note saying that my order would be on its way the next business day. Barely a week later, the book arrived in good order. I am very pleased with the personalized service in what was ostensibly an ordinary online transaction.
Great book shop!

Great books, great price, great service! What more do you need? I sometimes need to find an obscure book and these guys are my go to online shop.
Brilliant all-round!
I wanted a perfect copy of a children's title by Helen Cresswell, and discovered that Setanta had just the thing : sensibly priced, signed by the author, and in a bright and crisp wrapper! Quick delivery, secure and safe packaging, brilliant all-round service. Thank you.
Perfect!

Book arrived quickly and was in the condition that I expected and as described accurately by the seller. Good customer service as the seller kept me informed of despatch and took care to package it well. Item was also a very reasonable price. Well recommended.
High quality Service
High quality service for all facets of the purchase experience. I ordered the recent Richard Hawley vinyl reissues. Keith responded promptly to enquiries re shipping costs. The albums were packaged very carefully and arrived in great condition. Although I'm on the other side of the world my experience was as good as if I had walked off the street and into his shop.
Highly recommended and look forward to many more purchases with this fantastic business.
