I have the ability to accept credit cards through a “shopping cart” system if you wish to purchase items from my on-line catalog. You can also order from my website by contacting me by phone or email (preferred) to let me know the item(s) you want, and I will handle everything in the order received. Due to time constraints, I may not be able to update the catalog every day to show what is sold, so please don't be disappointed if you miss something, rather provide alternate selections just in case.
In my item write-ups, I attempt to provide as much information as possible to help fully describe it for the benefit of the on-line shopper. It is understood that not every item description will be sufficient enough to make a purchase an easy proposition. When possible, cover scans, will be available to aid item descriptions. Occasionally, in an effort to get new items online in a timely manner, I will not have been able to add an item description. If more information is requested about an item on my website, please email me and I will provide a more detailed written item description.
GRADING: I use terminology from the Independent Online Booksellers Association (IOBA) when grading books for sale. From best to worst, “AS NEW (AN)” or “VERY FINE (VF)” is unread condition; “FINE (Fn)” is similar to AN or VF but not as crisp; “VERY GOOD (VG)” is a used book showing some wear, “GOOD (G)” is the average used and worn book; “FAIR (Fr)” is a worn book that has complete text pages but may lack endpapers, half-title page, etc., “POOR (P)” or “READING COPY (RC)” is a book that is sufficiently worn that its only merit is the complete text, which must be legible. Any missing maps or plates should still be noted. May be soiled, scuffed, stained, or spotted, and may have loose joints, hinges, pages, etc. Anything that is “EX-LIBRARY (XL)” or “BOOK CLUB (BC)” must always be designated as such no matter what the condition of the book. A “BINDING COPY (BdC)” is a book in which the text block, including illustrations, is complete but the binding is lacking, or in such poor condition it is beyond realistic restoration efforts. You can access a more complete list of terminology from the IOBA's website.
