I don’t ship international, mostly just the 48 contiguous states******* Why Buy From Me?I am an independent bookseller operating out of my home. I love old books and personally handle and research and evaluate every book I list for sale. I include bibliographical and copy-specific descriptions more complete and accurate than larger bookselling operations. (Larger sellers often list the copyright date of the first/original date an edition was printed, not the date of the actual edition you are purchasing.) I also include information on authors, illustrators, and unique attributes of the books for sale. Why Buy A Used Book?—Used books are not just “old,” they are links to the past. Bindings, cover art, introductions, afterwards, illustrations, paper, inscriptions, and so on reflect different times in our history. —Collecting paperbacks or modern editions is a fun and inexpensive way to start a book collection and explore the used and rare book market. —They make a unique gift—Reduce and Reuse ConditionI thoroughly examine each book and do my best to fully and accurately describe and photograph the physical condition. I personally photograph all of my books—not just the front and back cover, but the spine, reverse of the covers, title page, copyright page, introduction/afterword, first page, last page, and any marks or damage. Because these are used books, all of them show some wear. And to a certain extent condition will always be slightly subjective. Because most of my books sell for under $300, I generally group condition into these overall categories. —Very Good: Book shows minor signs of wear. —Good: The average used worn book that has all pages and covers present.—Fair: Well-worn book that has complete text/pages and covers in-tact. ReturnsWhile this is a very small operation, I do want buyers to feel that what they purchased is what was advertised. If you are unhappy with the book, contact me about a discount or refund. Thank YouThank you for your business and remember to keep your books out of direct light and avoid high humidity and significant temperature fluctuations.
