About Us Things you should know about condition & grading:
Buy with confidence. I have been a professional book dealer for over 20 years!
Anything graded "Very Good" or better is in collectible condition.
The wear on collectible books and games is usually very minor with respect to an item's age.
Games are graded like books. The box is graded like a dust jacket and and the contents like the boards and pages of the book.
When you buy a recently published book or game graded only "Very Good" we want you to say, "Wow! That looks almost new!"
Books and games graded as "Good" are probably better than average used books and games--great for reading or playing or even loaning.
Books and games graded below "Good" are usually old, hard to find, and/or complete sets, otherwise we probably wouldn't bother.
I do not sell items exposed to dampness, moisture or mildew.
Items with missing dust jackets, inserts or components will be noted.
Former library books are very rarely sold unless noted.
Items with remainder marks are rarely sold unless noted.
Items with torn or creased pages are not sold unless minor and noted.
Items with book plates, inscriptions, marks of former owners, highlighting etc. will be noted--if sold at all.
Paperback books without covers, front or back, will never be sold.
If I make a mistake, I am humble. Given the chance I will make it right the best way I can.
About Item Photographs
I take my own photographs.
Items pictured in photographs will be the actual items you will receive.
Gallery images are usually scans or ad copy and are not always from the actual item you will receive.
For items with quantities greater than 1 you will receive an identical item in appearance and condition to the image in the photograph.
About The Storage of Items
We store our items on site. We do not drop ship items from other sellers.
Our items are stored in a clean, cool, dry and low-light environment.
