SHIPPING IN COVID TIMES: Please note that at this time, the post office is VERY VERY slow and if you need this by a specific time, you'll need to select Priority Mail or it may take a couple weeks or longer to get there. I know it's more expensive, but it's the only way to insure a quick delivery...

About Me & This Item...

I am a private collector of art, books, music (10,000 records alone!) and "stuff" and am very picky about what I buy. I don't like surprises when I buy things from auctions any more than you do. I promise everything there is to know about this item is in this description. I also do not subscribe to "grading" as frankly, grading is totally inconsistent and most of the "graders" TRULY have no clue, so I will use plain English if it is OK with you...

    *This is a very gently handled and possibly read hardcover book in EXCELLENT condition, with original unclipped dustjacket as issued. This book's pictorial covers match the dust jacket exactly; the binding is tight and solid, all pages intact, none loose, all crisp and bright showing a virtually NO amount of shelfwear from handling to the book or dustjacket. I have placed the dustjacket in a Brodart to prevent any damage from occurring. It measures approximately 11.3 x 7.9 x 0.8 inches and is a VERY nice copy! Enjoy...

For over a decade, I have sold tens of thousands of items on eBay and have only received a handful of complaints about the accuracy in my descriptions. Having met eBay standards for excellence in trading, you may bid with confidence knowing you will get what you THINK you are bidding on! Please check my feedback. It is a record I am very proud of...

I have LOTS of music items, and tons of books available for purchase. Please check my other offerings to see if there is anything else you might be interested in for combined shipping. There are links above and below and why not bookmark my site to make it easier to find at a later date!

PAYMENT TERMS: Pretty simple. Pay me, I send it!

Why Are My Shipping & Handling Costs  a Bit Higher than Other Sellers?   Please Read  on...

GUARANTEED DELIVERY OR YOUR MONEY BACK!
I really DO CARE about  when and how your product gets to you. Because the post office is so incredibly inept, I ONLY SHIP domestic packages INSURED, which is AUTOMATICALLY INCLUDED in the shipping cost, and that is not free as the post  office charges for it. If your parcel gets lost OR damaged in freight, your item will be replaced if one is available OR you will  be completely refunded!

  IMPORTANT MONEY SAVING TIP!  If you are  buying more than one of my items and would like to SAVE MONEY by COMBINING SHIPPING costs, I  will be happy to do so, but eBay has now made it more difficult to get discounts by confusing people with "Buy it Now" and "Add  to Cart" options on non-auction style pages. If you are buying one item from a seller use the Buy it Now. BUT IF YOU WANT  COMBINED or FREE SHIPPING, DO NOT USE THE BUY IT NOW button! Instead, select ADD TO CART. Then use your BACK button on your  browser and select the other items you want that qualify using ADD TO CART each time. When you are finished, look for the  shopping cart icon at the top right corner of your eBay page and click on it. Find the blue button which reads COMMIT TO BUY &  SEND REQUEST. Once done, the items will be held and I will create a single invoice with either combined or free shipping. NOTE: I  cannot retroactively go back and combine items that are not purchased in this manner so PLEASE PAY ATTENTION.

Once you receive your invoice, payment is expected promptly! All of the payment info you need will be  listed including multiple shipment options. 

Since I am a legitimate business, Some states will require sales tax to be collected. Ebay will collect such as required. I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THIS!

PAYMENT OPTIONS:

  • I accept Credit Cards, eChecks and  electronic transfers with .
  • Unfortunately, direct bank transfers are not offered due  to cost and security concerns.
  • As I reside in the USA, all payments must be made in US Dollars & Cents. If you want it in a week or less, you are going to have to bite the bullet and pay for Priority Mail which will get it there in  2-3 working days, 99% of the time, but it is more expensive. Basically, the choice is yours, but if you choose media mail, please  don't write to me in 5 days asking where your package is, because the post office will have it and most of the time, they don't  have a clue!

    International deliveries all go by Priority Mail and usually arrive within 1-2 weeks. BE AWARE, you may need to  pay Customs fees over which I have no control!

    SHIPPING INFO: IMPORTANT!! I can ONLY SHIP to  the address as noted in PAYPAL'S "TRANSACTION DETAILS". If you want it shipped to an alternate location, you will need to  register that address BEFORE paying or it will be shipped to the registered address.

    Shipping costs will be determined by  weight & destination! You may click on the SHIPPING & PAYMENT tab found at the top of the page, just under the item's picture for  all shipping options to all destinations both domestic and international. There you will find drop down boxes for your location  and you can then use the shipping calculator to determine the correct cost for where you live.

    REALLY, REALLY IMPORTANT INFO ABOUT SHIPPING TIMES:

    Media Mail  (once known as 4th class mail) is a special class of postage for books, music, videos and other printed media available within  the US and territories. It is far less expensive than Priority Mail, but - it ..... is ........... slooowwwww!!!! Despite USPS  claims of 3-9 day delivery times, MEDIA MAIL CAN actually TAKE UP TO 3 WEEKS to arrive, and their  tracking info is frequently not updated until it actually arrives, making that feature pretty useless! PLEASE remember this when  you leave feedback scores as the choice is yours and not my fault if it takes a long time to get there! If you want it in  a week or less, you are going to have to bite the bullet and pay for Priority Mail which will get it there in 2-3 working days,  99% of the time, but it is more expensive. Basically, the choice is yours, but if you choose media mail, please don't write to me  in 5 days asking where your package is, because the post office will have it and most of the time, they don't have a clue! 

  • International deliveries usually arrive within 1-2 weeks but CAN take up to a month! Faster shipping is available on  request, but expensive.
  • Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These  charges are the buyer's responsibility. You can check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs  will be prior to bidding/buying.
  • Finally, we do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts"; it is  illegal and immoral.
