Add to basketNot a book but a 12-inch, 33-1/3 rpm "High Fidelity" (mono) vinyl record album, Imperial LP 9028, first pressing with original maroon label, very-good-plus vinyl with some superficial scratches which cannot be felt in a very good glossy cardboard jacket which is partially split (top and bottom) and shows previous owner's initials in red ink to verso. Jacket states "LP 9028" to verso, which matches the label. So what are we to make of the curious "Recorded in Stereophonic Sound" small print to upper right corner of the front of this jacket? This record may (just possibly) have been RECORDED in stereo, but it plays mono -- we can't discern any difference between the channels other than the fact that one is considerably weaker. Furthermore, when this LP was re-released in 1968 as a "stereo" record, it was re-numbered LP-12389 (R), with the (R) standing for "re-channeled," indicating they had no stereo tapes of these cuts to work from. So we'll be generous and call the stereo reference on this 1957 jacket "an error." This album catalogs $150 in NM/NM, while this copy is VG-plus/VG. Here reduced from $40.

While we mark down our unsold books on a regular basis, our "BEST PRICE" on any given day is the price posted. We purposely avoid selling on the "Make me an offer" auction sites, where every book is "acceptable" and paperback reprints of "The Great Gatsby" bearing ISBNs and barcodes are listed as "published 1925." And we DECLINE to jack up our prices by 20 percent so we can offer every supplicant a supposed 10 or 15 percent "discount," thus turning anyone who simply pays our asking price into a ...
More InformationOrders usually ship within 2 business days. Shipping costs are based on books weighing 2.2 lbs., or 1 kg. If your book order is heavy or oversized, we may contact you to let you know extra shipping is required. Please make sure your e-mail program will accept such an inquiry from an ABE Books address. "SHIPPING RATE" is a small pull-down menu at ABE. Media mail is the default setting; you may choose "Priority," which costs more but carries some automatic insurance protection, if you wish. To keep our basic shipping rate competitive, we do not routinely pay out of pocket to insure books valued under $50. HOWEVER (SIGNATURE REQUIRED): We now ship all parcels valued at $90 or more "signature required," at our expense. Customers are responsible to provide a secure shipping address. In the case of shipments valued over $90. Should no adult signer be available when the mailman calls, buyers should be on the lookout for a "notice of attempt to deliver." We ship in boxes -- not plastic bags. In our experience, deliveries to France, Italy and Western Australia can take from three to 13 weeks, regardless of shipping method. We cannot control Customs delays in such countries, the luxurious seasonal vacation schedules of government functionaries, nor the proudly announced preference of Australian postal authorities to spend a week shipping even "Priority" packages across the continent from Sydney to Perth by truck -- camels apparently not being consistently available.
