I have been a member of eBay since July 1998 and started selling items shortly after joining. With respect to signed material offered for sale, I guarantee that all signatures are 100% authentic. Signature guaranteed to pass any third-party authentication inspection or full refund provided. Most of the material I list on eBay is obtained from estate sales, thrift stores, and used bookstores. If a signature is questionable, I do not list it….period. I offer both signed and inscribed material, and although “flat signed” material is often preferable from a collectability standpoint, with the flood of fake signatures in the marketplace today, an inscribed copy can actually lend more legitimacy to the signature. Certificate of Authenticity provided upon request. I also guarantee that all signed items will pass third-party authentication, or your money back. Please review my excellent feedback rating.
I'm liquidating a large portion of the my book collection, and am offering this book and others at a low opening bid and with no reserve.
Condition: Book is Very Good+. A few small tape marks from where dust jacket was previously affixed. Dust jacket is Near Fine. Beautifully protected in Mylar.
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; media rate, unless directed otherwise. All items securely packaged to ensure safe delivery.
Payment: Payment must be received within 1 day of purchase/auction close.
Return Policy: Returns accepted within 14 days of receipt. If you feel that you need more detail about the condition of an item, please ask before bidding/purchase. I will respond to all inquiries.
