If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me for further bibliographic info on a particular listing. *The pictures and description are of the actual book(s) for sale or auction. I do not use generic or ambiguous descriptions. I try to be conservative in my assessments of condition, listing and providing pictures of significant faults. I would prefer that you be pleasantly surprised than to be disappointed with your purchase.If I make a mistake or miss a condition point, contact me and we will work it out. Although I don’t generally accept returns, of course I will do whatever I can to correct a problem, and returns always apply when I misattribute or fail to mention a significant condition issue. *I only ship in Boxes with multiple layers of protection for the book(s).I cannot ship to alternate addresses not in your profile, or delay shipping beyond the deadline required of me by eBay. *Most of my listings include Free Media Mail shipping to the US. For Global shipping, the shipping to the hub is done by Media Mail. I generally take packages to the post office personally and have them scanned in-this reduces shipping time, usually, and adds a little security. It also means that I can easily ship to US territories and APO addresses-sometimes packages to states and territories outside the continental US can take some time. *Shipped from a smoke and pet free home. *Feel free to make reasonable offers, and I often send offers to those who add an item to their watchlist. *I send a message confirming purchase, and usually another when the package is on the way. I closely monitor my inbox and try to respond within hours. I leave feedback as soon as the book is on the way. I would really appreciate it if you, as buyer, leave feedback when the book(s) arrive and you have had a chance to look over your purchase (or contact me if there’s an issue).Seller downsizing personal collection. I don’t list more books than I can handle with personal service, and recently paused selling for a few months due to a couple of surgeries.Please see my other listings for more series, mystery, fantasy and sci-fi, collectible, modern literature books, classics and nonfiction.
