Ed Ruscha NEW IN SHRINKWRAP! HC/DJ BENEZRA-Author

Remember, this book can only increase in value!  Slight yellowing in the pics is a result of ambient lighting, the book is not yellow. 

NEW.

Price is pretty firm, make an offer is for the benefit of the bidders, allowing them to make an offer I can accept, and thereby avoid a bidding war, and buy-it-now.  International bidders, please contact me for a shipping quote before bidding.  Please contact me for my only payment option (not PayPal) for pick-up and delivery.  PayPal OK for shipping.  Pick-up with cash is much preferred, is free, and allows the bidder to inspect the item, before buying.  Otherwise, shipping w/i the contiguous USA will run $9.99* This qualifies for standard flat rate shipping service, and 1 day turn around, handling period, EXPEDITED shipping available at extra cost. Please contact me for the only payment option (not PayPal) for pick-up and delivery.  Payment due at close of auction.

*A note on shipping expense.  eBay charges a final value fee of 20-25% on, not only shipping, but tax, too!?!  Additional expenses: packaging, delivering the item to the carrier, actual shipping cost (FedEx continues to raise their charges 5% every year) including insurance, and if media or international, waiting in line at USPS for 15-45 minutes.  Therefore, if the shipping looks a little high, I never see 20-25% of what I ask for.

Normally,  I would have made this auction with a 14 day return guarantee.  However, eBay has recently begun a "defects, return" requirement.  Which states that only so many returns (whether for a defect or not) will be allowed a seller, per year.  When combined with eBay's rule allowing a buyer to return for no reason at all, this is a recipe for disaster.  Liberal returns, will no longer be considered by sellers.  I will reduce the 14 day guarantee auctions which I post.  Now buyers will not have the return guarantees, and the sellers will be sanctioned, for allowing too many returns.  Therefore, eBay has, once again, promulgated rules which do not help either the buyer or seller, and only make both buyers and sellers look for alternative sites.  Buyers are still covered, if the item materially differs from the description.

I FOLLOW ALL EBAY POLICES AND STRIVE FOR 5-STAR SERVICE EACH AND EVERY TRANSACTION. WHEN YOU GIVE 4 STARS IT MAY SEEM LIKE A GREAT SCORE, BUT, A 4 ON ANY STAR IS 4.0 AND EBAY CONSIDERS THIS A SUB-PAR MARK SINCE THE REQUIREMENT IS 4.40. IF YOU ARE PLEASED WITH THE TRANSACTION PLEASE RESPOND WITH ALL 5 STARS. IF YOU ARE NOT PLEASED LET ME KNOW AND WE WILL WORK TO MAKE IT THAT WAY.

In the rare event of an "Item not as described" claim, returns or refunds will only be accepted based on my description and photos, not information pertaining to the eBay catalog or item specifics. Please see my listing and photographs carefully as these are the only items included. If an item is not photographed or listed it is not included, nor assumed to be.
