Save on shipping costs by buying more than one lot. Purchases may be combined for reduced shipping costs. For 
hardcover and larger size paperbacks, the first book (or group of books offered together in one lot) ships for $6.00. It is
 only $1.50 more for each additional book (or book lot) purchased at or near the same time. 

For smaller paperbacks (the typical pocketbook or mass market books which are less than 5" x 8"), the first book is  $4.50, 
add a second and the total shipping is still $4.50. For three or more of the smaller size paperback books, the total shipping is
always $5.00 total, no matter how many you buy. 

Combined shipping is only for lots paid on the same invoice. Wait for the corrected invoice with the shipping discount. 
Contact me to let me know if you want to delay paying for items while you wait for another auction to end.

I am liquidating my books, lovingly accumulated over many years, and selling at bargain prices to move things along. I must sell and my 
losses can be your gain.  
 
I do not use stock photos--what you see, you get. I strive to show what a demanding collector wants to see. Ask for more, if needed.
 
The book will be well packaged to protect its value. In my opinion, padded envelopes are not adequate protection for books; I cushion 
and ship in a box and include tracking.
