Condition report: It has been kept in what I assume is its original outer sleeve made from a thick card so the outer cover of the book is in really nice condition. The card is quite worn but it seems to have protected the book really well.
There are a few signs of age and use wear on the edges and corners but there is no staining or fading etc. from what I can see. The paper tape down the sleeve is broken open.
It measures approx. 9 and 3/8 inches x 6 and 1/2 inches, the pages are not numbered inside.
My stock ref: #ESK/71223/ Guinness promotional booklets clear folder marked #2666.
Postage policies:
I use the eBay Global Shipping Programme for most of my items as this allows me to send items internationally that I would normally only be able to offer to UK buyers. Items sent under this system are fully insured the shipping price also includes any customs duties.
I do NOT have any control over the shipping or customs prices as eBay themselves set these prices.
Combined postage for multiple items:
AUCTION ITEMS "Usually when items are shipped through our Global Shipping Program it is not possible to combine separate orders as each transaction is given a unique reference code which is needed by our shipping centre to process orders.
EBAY SHOP ITEMS However, it may be possible to get an automatic shipping discount with the Global Shipping Programme by adding all your items to the eBay shopping basket and then purchasing. The eBay shopping cart automatically estimates any discounts for you, combining items where possible.
However only these item must be in the cart at this time and will have to be added in and purchased within a certain timeframe. If you have any other items in your basket the system will be unable to combine the order."
However only these item must be in the cart at this time and will have to be added in and purchased within a certain timeframe. If you have any other items in your basket the system will be unable to combine the order."
If this automated system does not apply the postage discount for you, please send me an eBay message and I will do my best to try and combine the shipping costs for you.
If you see A/F = a/f in the title or description it means "as found" condition which may have scuffs, scratches and damage. In relation to all my listings it does not mean " about fine ". I have used A/F for " as found " for 45 years.
