Please read book descriptions carefully. I write descriptions accurately, with a slight bias toward over describing faults, if any exist, so that you will know exactly what you are buying.

I ship books anywhere, at approximate postage cost, which depends on weight, destination and means of shipping. In the U.S., books are normally sent via Priority Mail, with insurance added for books over $50 in value. This charge is added to the cost of the book, and, in Connecticut, a 6% sales tax is added to the total. If you live in another country, a book will usually be sent via Priority Mail as well, though if it is over-sized, I will let you know the postage and insurance charges beforehand.

Books may be returned within a week of arrival for any reason. Shipping costs are not refundable unless the book is not as described.
