All domestic packages shipped with delivery confirmation. All packages valued over $250.00 shipped with signature confirmations. Delivery confirmation and signature confirmation provide some insurance against the package going missing in the postal system. If you desire actual insurance against loss or damage, please ask and I will provide the costs.
All books are sent boxed except in those few cases where it makes sense to send a book mailer, envelope with cardboard insert, etc.
All books are sold with satisfaction guaranteed. If not satisfied, contact me for return instructions and refund. All books have images that show many of their characteristics and a description is provided that lists faults and virtues and general characteristics. Feel free to ask questions. Images and descriptions help, but there is nothing to replace seeing a book in person. I try not to miss any major blemishes, but if I do, you have my apologies. And a full refund.
