The book is in excellent condition. There is very minimal wear, a little dent in the cover here and there but these are disappearing, pages are in excellent condition, no tears creases or writing. This is a personally owned book, not an ex-library book and has therefore been well cared for.

Shipping is figured on an individual basis. We prefer to ship via priority USPS as the online shipping service automatically generates and emails the buyer a tracking number. Please remember that these emails may go into a junk folder if the filter on your email service is not set correctly. We usually offer alternatives to priority mail, so that if you are in no rush for your item, you can choose to use a different service that may be cheaper. Small items will have the First Class mail option. If the weight of the packaged item goes over 13oz then First Class is not an option. Depending on the weight, a flat rate box may be used to save you money. We charge a small materials / handling fee of $1 which is figured into the shipping cost.

We describe everything as accurately as possible. We buy estates and most of the items we sell are previously owned and are therefore sold on an as-is basis. You should expect some signs of wear, unless otherwise stated. We strive to provide you with lots of photographs so that you can see the item up close and personal. If there is anything that is missed, either in the description or in the photos please email, we are always happy to try and help with any questions or requests. Please realize that we are only human and that sometimes errors occur. If you receive your item and are unhappy in any way, please contact us, communication is the key to a happy ending!

We ask that you leave a feedback when your item arrives. Once we know you have received it and are happy, we will leave a positive feedback for our buyer. There is now a 5 star ratings service on ebay. Please be objective and honest when filling this in. If the shipping cost was high on your item, that's because the service to get it to you is expensive, and this is NOT the fault of the seller! We do NOT profit from shipping costs. Thank you

Finally, when you have read and agreed to abide by the rules of the sale, feel free to bid. Remember that auctions end throughout the day and if you are not able to be present when the item finishes, you need to bid to win! This means that you should bid as high as you are willing to pay for the item you are looking at.
