“With its sinuous body movement and graceful slither, the snake has always charmed human beings with its manifold capabilities. There are over two thousand different kinds of snakes, classified in over a dozen distinct families and about three hundred genera.

Snakes of the World is a monograph that not only elaborates the different species of this reptile but also highlights their morphological and anatomical characteristics.

The author, with his background as Curator of Mammals and Reptiles, at New York Zoological Park, with his vast exposure and experience has not only elaborately woven in words, the entire gamut of snake world, but also vividly highlighted it with the help of exceptional photographs which are an excellent heritage collection that give minute details of the body size, length, scales and their pattern.” (jacket)

I received your parcels with the books today and I am still completely baffled how well the books were wrapped in. (Not even Austrian customs could do them any harm. You did a lot better than amazon.com. Needless to say that I am completely happy. Thank you very much!

3. "British Feminists".

May I congratulate you on the excellent quality of the books and, in particular, I am very much obliged to you for bringing them to my attention. The attention paid to the packaging and dispatch is commendable.

Your consistent courtesy, promptness and efficiency to date is very much appreciated.

A thousand thanks for promptly sending the Pali English Dictionary which I had needed urgently. The securely packed parcel arrived safely here in the South of France all the way from distant India. I am happy that this large volume is still in mint condition.

I know of no other Indian publisher whose books can equal the superb quality of Vedams books. Similarly, no other Indian distributor of books can excel Vedams as regards the quickness of service, the perfect packing of books and their safe delivery at overseas destinations.

I wanted to thank you for the lovely book and to assure you that we are in the process of cutting a check for your payment. Thank you so much for shipping the book to us before receiving payment. I saved the cloth packaging – I’ve never received a package that was wrapped with such care! I have shown it to many of my co-workers.

Thank you again for fulfilling my request and you should receive payment within a few more weeks. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Just to let you know that this order arrived here safely yesterday, and to offer my thanks and congratulations on your absolutely first class service. I will have no hesitation in ordering from you in the future as occasion arises, and look forward to doing so.

Not only did the book arrive in quick time, it was beautifully packed in waterproof and shock-damage resistant materials consistent with the protection of this fine and important volume. I have never seen more care and attention to detail than in your shipment.

Thank you very much.
