Great job on the 1934 newspaper

I ordered a newspaper from 1934. I was amazed how easy it was and well it was preserved and packaged. The only issue was shipping. The shipper told me I'd receive the shipment on a Wednesday, then it was delayed until Friday and then Monday (I was pissed) even though I'd paid for expedited shipping. Ultimately, it was delivered on Friday - just overcommunication by the shipper seemed to cause my angst.
