GRADING

We grade according to the standards of the American Book Association. Grading is an art form, not a science. We grade conservatively, but if you have any disagreement with our grading, we have a 100% unconditional guarantee. You may return any item you purchased from us, in the condition you received it, for a full refund.

All books are graded as follows:

FAIR - Reading copy only. The periodical is complete unless noted but shows heavy wear. The cover may be partially detached.

GOOD - Complete copy showing a fair amount of wear including the cover and spine. Pages may have some toning but no brittleness.

FINE - Collectible copy in pretty good condition. It might have some small defects but otherwise in fairly nice shape.

VERY FINE - A nice copy. No significant faults. A nice collectors copy.

DOMESTIC SHIPPING

WE ALWAYS COMBINE SHIPPING ON MULTIPLE ITEMS PURCHASED IN THE SAME SERIES OF AUCTIONS.

We use media mail for books and periodicals.  We use first class/priority mail for everything else.

All packages are shipped with tracking.

We don't make money on shipping.  We add $1-$2 (depending on if we are using a box) to our best estimate of the shipping cost.  Every shipment is checked afterward and any overcharges are returned.  We are buyers on eBay also and dislike sellers who overcharge for shipping. 

OUTSIDE THE US SHIPPING

All our listed items for sale are now being handled by eBay International shipping.  We do not see what is charged or how it is handled.  Our duty is to ship it to a US address and eBay handles it from there.  

Please use the eBay cart system for multiple purchases and ask for a combined invoice.  If you have any problems please feel free to message us through eBay.

Please buy with confidence with thousands of prior satisfied customers. Thanks for looking!
