This book is in fair condition. It has a lot of "character". It is a previous church edition with markings such as a church stamp on the front end page, checkout sleeve on back inside cover, checkout card on back end page, and two letters written on the spine. There are signs of age or wear through cover/spine fading, soil/spot soil/staining, spine/cover edge/corner rub, corner push, spine upper/lower end rub/push, page edge rub or scuffs, page edge light soil/staining, edge nicks, and tanning of pages. Previous owner name and numbers written on front end page. Bookstore sticker on front end page. Some pages show smudges, fingerprints, or light soil spotting. One soil spot/stain on outside page edges extends onto pages even though seen as very light. Writing in pencil on back inside cover. Covers are faded. Spine is well faded and tanned/browned. Corners are well rubbed showing board and fraying. Spine corners/edges show splits and fraying. Notable spot soiling of covers. Fade spot on back likely from cleaning.

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.
Free media rate shipping.
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.
