We want you to be 100% satisfied in all your dealings with us.

To ensure this happens we take great pains to accurately describe the condition of our books in cases, such as antiquarian or secondhand books, where a condition description is required. If you see no explanation of condition in a description of a book, you can safely assume that it is either a new book or is a secondhand/out of print book in excellent condition.
