IF you have further questions - happy to answer them - please email us.

Please browse our other items and bookmark our site - we constantly add new items.

We pack your item extremely carefully so you will receive it in the best condition.

This sometimes causes us to be a day or two late in processing orders if we have a good number of sales - Please be patient- we aim to provide the best service we can.

 

POSTAGE WILL BE COMBINED ON MULTIPLE ITEMS PURCHASED.   PLEASE WAIT FOR ME TO SEND YOU AN INVOICE BEFORE PAYING - I MAY BE ABLE TO SAVE YOU POSTAGE.

 

ON PAPER BACK BOOKS, MANY TIMES WE CAN COMBINE SEVERAL BOOKS, AND / OR SHIP CHEAPER BY FIRST CLASS AIR MAIL ( A LITTLE SLOWER THAN PRIORITY)- PLEASE ASK ME ABOUT RATES.

 

Please remember that the binding glue in vintage paperbacks is likely to be drier than newer books, and thus more fragile than more modern printings.    All vintage paperbacks require proper care in handling.

 

 

 

INTERNATIONAL POSTAGE NOTICE  !

 PLEASE  WAIT FOR INVOICE BEFORE PAYING  

 

  IMPORTANT NOTICE-

 

AS OF MAY 14th, 2007, THE US POSTAL SYSTEM WILL COMPLETELY CHANGE INTERNATIONAL MAIL RATES - ALL SURFACE MAIL HAS BEEN DROPPED, THERE WILL ONLY BE TWO  CLASSES OF AIR MAIL= PRIORITY  OR FIIRST CLASS,  AND  THE RATES HAVE GONE UP SUBSTANTIALLY. 

 

FURTHER IMPORTANT NOTICE - AS OF Jan. 2013, U.S. POSTAGE RATES HAVE BEEN RAISED AGAIN.

 

 

WE HAVE NO IDEA HOW FAST THESE NEW RATES WILL ACTUALLY BE, SO PLEASE BE PATIENT. I ASSUME 2 - 4 WEEKS AS BEFORE DEPENDING ON THE CLASS OF AIR MAIL USED AND IF ITEM IS HELD UP IN CUSTOMS .

 

IT WILL TAKE AT LEAST THE TIMES STATED ABOVE.    PLEASE DO NOT START ASKING WHERE IT IS IN A WEEK OR TWO AND ACCUSE ME OF NOT SENDING THE ITEM - SLOW DELIVERY TIMES BY THE POST OFFICE ARE NOT MY FAULT,   PLEASE BE PREPARED TO WAIT THE AVERAGE TIMES I HAVE STATED.  

 

WE HAVE BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR OVER 40 YEARS & WE KNOW BY BITTER EXPERIENCE JUST HOW SLOW THE MAIL CAN BE.

 

IF YOU BID ON SOMETHING AND THE POSTAGE IS TOO HIGH, I WILL CANCEL THE SALE AT YOUR REQUEST WITH NO ADVERSE COMMENTS.   IF YOU WISH A POSTAL QUOTE BEFORE BIDDING , JUST ASK ME.

 

THANK YOU FOR LOOKING .
