Grading Criteria:

As New: book is in the same immaculate condition in which it was published. There can be no defects, no missing pages, no library stamps, etc., and the dust jacket (if it was issued with one) must be perfect, without any tears.

Fine: book approaches the condition of As New, but without being crisp. No defects, etc., and if the jacket has a small tear, or other defect, or looks worn, this should be noted.

Very Good: book shows some small signs of wear on either binding or paper.

Good: book that has average wear and tear with all pages or leaves present.

Fair: book is worn with complete text pages (including those with maps or plates) but may lack end papers, half-title, etc. (which must be noted). Binding, jacket (if any), etc. may also be worn.

Poor: book is sufficiently worn that its only merit is as a Reading Copy because it does have the complete text, which must be legible. Any missing maps or plates should still be noted. This copy may be soiled, scuffed, stained or spotted and may have loose joints, hinges, pages, etc.

Ex-library: book that is retired from a library. Must always be designated as such no matter what the condition of the book.

Shipping: Buyer to pay all shipping costs. International shipping rates will vary based on destination. Please do not ask for exact shipping quotes during an active listing as there are various websites where you can calculate this on your own based on the stated weight range. I have shipped numerous items internationally and have never received a complaint with respect to shipping costs. All items securely packaged to ensure safe delivery.

Payment: Payment must be received within 1 day of purchase/auction close.

Return Policy: Detailed descriptions and sufficient pictures are taken of every item to provide potential bidders with enough information to make fully informed decisions about an item prior to bidding.
