Grades from COLLECTABLE PAPERBACK BOOKS

FINE (F) – Books graded Fine are unused and like new, without any flaws. A Fine book is comparable to a new paperback on a bookstore shelf.


ABOUT FINE (AF) – Books in this grade are also unread and like new, but have some very minor imperfections, generally due to storage or shelf wear.


VERY GOOD TO FINE (VGF) – Books graded VGF are high quality copies that show minor signs of use. This is the highest grade for any book that appears to have been read. For example, if a book has a light crease down the spine from being opened, but no other significant flaw it would qualify as VGF. Paperbacks that were read carefully one time and then put on a shelf will generally be in VGF condition.


VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) – Books in this grade show more obvious signs of use but still appear to be above average used copies with no significant creasing, spine roll, page browning, or other serious problem.


VERY GOOD (VG) – Books grading VG are typical used books and will exhibit cover creasing, light spine roll, minimal water stains, spine fading (from exposure to sunlight), and peeling cover lamination. This grade covers the widest range of condition and it is to be expected that some books grading VG will appear to be somewhat better than others.


GOOD (G) – Books in this grade will show heavy signs of use but will still be complete and intact, including both covers, spine, and all pages.

Sorry No International combined shipping.


We combine shipping for US buyers on similarly shaped items. Please let us know if you'll be bidding on other items.

The charge is what the USPS charges us for shipping your items. They calculate shipping by weight and distance. We do our best to select the least expensive way to ship your item to save you postage. We never add the mysterious handling” charge.


Our goal is to maintain our 100% feedback rating. 


By bidding, you accept the following terms: To keep our 100% rating, we will accept returns on an item by item basis, but only if our written descriptions do not match the item in question.

Most of our items are "used" or "previously owned" or AS IS. Please read the description and look at the picture(s) very carefully, and ask any questions BEFORE you bid. 

This is particularly important if you are not used to buying vintage, older, or used items which would not be expected to be in "brand new" condition. However, customers usually state that our items are "better than described". 


Contact needed within 3 days of end of auction, and payment must be received within 5 days or item will be relisted.
