Condition:  Acceptable*

This book is in acceptable shape.  The photographs should give you a pretty good idea of condition.  Flaws include:  1.  the corners of the cover have substantial wear  2.  the top of the binding has substantial wear, including small tears that do not exceed 3/8^th inch  3.  the front and back cover has a few scars, dull places, areas where the dye is very worn, scratches, and other indications of lots and lots of reading.  The edges of the text pages are very dull and discolored.  The text pages are a very deep buff color as they have yellowed with age.  The only marks I find are a name and address on the inside cover.

The good news is that the text pages are free of any marks, stains, tears, turned down corners are any other problems other than yellowing.  Additionally, the binding is strong and has no tears inside the cover front and back.  To be approximately 60 years old and to have been read by a lot of people, I think this book has held up pretty good.  It has character.

Smell Test:  There is no hint of cigarette smoke.

Shipping

We ship Media Mail.  It is affordable and allows us to ship some items free.  We will ship Priority if the buyer requests it and is willing to pay the additional cost.  Please understand that Media Mail takes 2-9 days for delivery.

We love combined shipping. When you buy two or more books, the shipping added is only $1 per item.  If you are watching several titles, buy one of the titles, and decide to buy another--simply email me to be patient until you finish shopping.  On free shipment, there is no $1 charge for combined shipment

. How our combined shipping works:

On any combination of books, it works like this:

You will pay the winning bid price and the shipping for the first book sold.  After that you just pay the winning bid price per book and a dollar for each book. 

For example, if the first book sold was 95 cents with 2.95 shipping, the first book would cost .95 plus 2.95 = 3.90.

 On the second book, if it sold for .95, you would add a dollar for shipping and the second book would cost $1.95.  You add 3.90 to 1.95 and would owe 5.85 for two books. 

If the third book sold for 1.00 plus a dollar shipping would be 2.00 + the other two would be 7.85.  If you stopped there, you could divide 7.85 by 3 to get the cost of each book.  For this example, the individual book cost would be $2.62. 

You can do this for 7 books or 7 days, whichever comes first.  If I don't cut off somewhere, it could go on forever. 

We do not ship internationally.
