A passionate book geek - an acquirer and seller of vintage and modern books: from estate sales, friends, family, old must book stores, etc. I have a deep sentimental heart for historical tomes and original owners. I am an avid reader and will not post what I have not read. That being said - I am NOT a company. I am a lowly individual with a habit of acquiring interesting collections that I hope you will be interested in as well. Welcome!

Shipping Terms
Shipping antique books requires careful packing and handling due to their fragility and value. Books should be packed spine down, with cushioning to prevent shifting and damage, and oversized books packed flat. Additionally, terms like "binding copy," "ex-library," and "reading copy" describe different conditions and values, which can affect shipping costs and insurance.
Packing and Shipping:
Spine Down: Pack books spine down to minimize bending and damage to the spine and pages.
Cushioning: Use materials like crumpled paper, rolled bubble wrap, or packing peanuts to prevent books from shifting and bumping inside the shipping box.
Oversized Books: Pack oversized books flat to avoid crushing the spine or pages.
Double-Boxing: Consider using a second, larger box for added protection during transit.
Proper Packaging: Use materials like stiff cardboard between books, cling wrap, and towels to prevent damage, according to Bekins Van Lines.
Secure the Package: Use packing tape to securely seal the box and prevent it from opening during transport.
I will protect these books like my own children!
