Terms of Sale

All books are sold on approval. I'm careful about the condition of the books I sell and grading is according to industry standards. Generally, all flaws will be mentioned, however, some slight imperfections may be judged as not worthy of specific mention. Customers are always welcome to request more detailed information about a book's condition prior to ordering and I'm happy to explain any of the terminology used in the descriptions and, in some cases, to supply additional images upon request. ...

Shipping Terms

All orders ship within 2 business days of processing. Shipping costs are based on books weighing 2.2 LBs, or 1 KG. If your order is heavy or oversized, I may contact you to let you know that extra shipping will be required, particularly if you request priority shipping. I ship through the U.S. Post Office. For domestic orders, I typically purchase insurance for books valued $100 and over.

For most international orders, I use USPS priority international or first class international mail. In order to qualify for the advertised rates, a book must be lighter than one kilogram. Shipping time for international orders is usually 6-10 days, not including custom delays.

All books are shipped in cardboard boxes with several layers of bubble wrap inside. Customers ordering priority or priority international are welcome to contact me prior to ordering the book in order to inquire about the added costs of shipping.
