Postage Discounts for taking more than one book

Postal Orders and Cheques are preferred from UK Bidders. Overseas bidders please note that I no longer offer Surface mail as a standard option. Any bidder wishing to have an item sent surface mail must also pay for a tracked or signed for service. Certain items of higher value will also have to be sent with a tracked or signed for service, prices vary according to final value fee.

***Canadian Bidders***. Unfortunately Due to the recent changes made by the Royal Mail for deliveries to Canada over 2kg, I am unable to offer books over 2kg to Canadian bidders at the usual rate that applies to North American bidders. Any Canadian bidders wishing to purchase books over 2kg can do so but the cost will be high at £44 Airmail, no surface mail available, although this also gives a further 7 kilos free of charge. Contact me for more details.

My Book Ratings

New: A new book, never used.

As New (AN): Although a used book, it should appear unread with no flaws, just as when it was sold new.

Fine (F): Should have no flaws, a perfect copy of a used book. Mint: Another term for Fine.

Near Fine (NF): May show a small flaw, such as shelf wear, but nearly perfect and unread.

Very Good (VG): The broadest category for used books, this describes any average used book. May have small flaws, and has probably been read, but should appear overall clean and attractive.

Good (G): Will probably have significant wear or damage, although is still intact. Suitable for reading, but not necessarily a good gift copy. The old saying in bookselling is "good ain't good."

Fair: Another term for Good. Poor or Reading Copy: Heavily worn or damaged, a poor book will be readable but not attractive.

Binding Copy: This will be the complete pages of the book, but the binding has been broken or damaged to the point it will need professional rebinding
