BOILERPLATE INFO:

Please examine photos closely to assess condition. Book(s)/Paper may have mild "old book smell" and shelf/storage wear difficult to see in photos. I do not survey every page for condition, but do quick surveys, flip through pages and follow any lead/indication of potential concern in the depths of a book. These items were discovered stored in cardboard boxes and on the shelves of a long-closed used book store in Vermont. If you have any additional concerns about the condition of an item, please contact me.

As these items are often obscure, further information is often difficult to find. This includes accurate copyrights and whether or not a book is a “first printing” or first edition, publication dates, etc. I provide the information found within the item and do some light research on databases like Worldcat or other selling sites. That said, I encourage you to do more research about a specific item and, as mentioned, contact me with any questions.

Unless otherwise requested, item will be sleeved in polypropylene, have a piece of scrap cardboard for rigidity (and/or an acid-free board in the sleeve), and shipped via FREE USPS First Class mail. 

For Buy-It-Now auctions, I encourage you to make offers. I consider how long an item has been listed, historical sale prices, and quantity of watchers/views/offers, when considering an offer. Please consider the same. For example, it is unlikely I am going to take 30% off asking price 4 hours after listing—but feel free to explain your offer in the “Add a Message” field.
