Wonderful & knowledgeable people to work with!!!!

Competitive prices, great customer service and very fast delivery

Prompt reply to my order establishing the timeline for delivery. Most important when an error was made and a wrong book was sent, a prompt acceptance of their error and the correct book sent.

Great customer relations

Excellent communication

Great titles

Items arrived as expected from overseas to the United States. Books were packed very well and there was no issue given the distance they traveled. Thank you for taking such care. I would recommend this seller.

I was so impressed with Brenda and the staff at rare collections right from the beginning. I had questions about the book that were easily answered by them. They packaged the book extremely well since it had to travel halfway around the globe to get to my address in South Carolina. The book arrived at my doorstep ahead of time since I was gonna pay for standard shipping. They upgraded me FedEx three day mail. I would highly recommend using them for the purchase of collectible books, and I plan on using them again in the future.

I have ordered multiple times from Rare Collections and the experience has been top notch each time. Brenda and Christo are both extremely helpful and respond quickly to any queries I have. The packaging is great with Brenda personally ensuring that the books are packaged well and arrive safely here in India. Rare Collections has a very cost effective express international shipping due to which I have been able to make purchases that I would otherwise have not made due to the high international shipping costs elsewhere. The shipping also includes tracking due to which I have never had any issues in receiving my orders. They also send the provenance information of books wherever available which make for an interesting read. I wish them all the best and hope to continue purchasing books from them for many more years.

I connected with Christo and the rare collection team mid 2024 around antiquarian books i inherited. Honestly and without hesitation they have been the best customer service focused team I've encountered. Going the extra mile in many cases and delivering on expectations. A wealth of book knowledge and top shelf characters.

Always a pleasure buying from Rare Collections. Wonderful, ever changing books. Knowledgable, friendly owners. Highly recommended!

I've ordered several times from this bookseller. At first, I started small and ordered only one book that I needed. After I found them trustworthy, my next order was for 14 more, and then recently another for 18 titles I desired. Each time I was handled professionally, promptly, and all items were delivered as described, carefully packaged, and quickly delivered (despite the distance).

I have ordered books several times from Rare Collections. I found them when searching for books online through Abes, Biblio, and Albris. I was hesitant to buy a book from South Africa or Australia. However Rare Collections is amazing. Communication is excellent. After I order they send an email with tracking information. My last book took four days to go from South Africa to my house!

If you are a bibliophile, then Christo (and his Rare Collections) is more than a trusted bookseller, he is a close friend, because his passion, "extreme attention to service detail" and range of truly beautiful offerings are without peer in South Africa, and comparable to the very best in the world. My world and library have been considerably enriched in the past few years by Christo. My only gripe is that my bank balance isn't as big as it needs to be!

I appreciate the good service your business gives, and I've been very happy with the books I've purchased so far. You have packed my orders well, and delivery to the UK has been fast and efficient. I don't think any book collector could expect more.
