Note about the seller – I am not selling books as much as I am sharing in a passion.  I provide as many pictures as possible to ensure complete transparency regarding condition.  My goal is to create an excitement and anticipation for a books arrival, and to maintain that excitement through the read and eventually placement on a shelf.

Please contact me prior to purchase if you require expedited shipping.  Buyer bears increased cost.

Shipping:  Sometimes when an item is listed with “Free Shipping”, eBay shows the listing as “Fast ‘N Free” with “Free Delivery in 4 Days”.  Please understand that eBay puts those on the listing, but they have no control over how long the item takes to arrive…they are nowhere in the shipping process.   Most of my items are shipped by media mail.  Typically, I ship the same day when possible, but the next business day for sure.  Once it is in the postal system, I have no control over it either.  Media mail takes 2-9 days, but can take as long as 3 weeks.  I have never seen anything take 3 weeks yet, but it can happen.  Normally, it takes 6-8 days depending on destination.
