Take a close look at the auction images for details of contents and condition. If you have any questions at all please send a message through eBay before bidding.
Some digital photos of wood engravings, halftones, or other very detailed black-and-white illustrations from books and magazines may appear in our listings to contain a hint of magenta or green. These are moiré patterns caused by digital photography of high-detail repeating patterns, and the colors are not present the original illustrations.
NOTE: There may be more images in this listing than eBay shows in the top "gallery". Be sure to scroll down to view the full set, if so.
Be sure to check our eBay Store for thousands of other listings like this one.
Orders will be sent out the next business day (Monday–Friday) after receipt of payment. Books are sent USPS Media Rate within the US, and other small items are sent USPS Ground Advantage. Magazines, comic books, and other material that contain advertising or branding cannot be sent Media Rate.
I'll be happy to combine shipping charges for items that can be sent together, as long as they are paid for within a 4-day window. You can ask for a combined invoice if you leave the items in your eBay Cart and then request an updated invoice when you're done shopping.
When you pay for an item, we are obliged to ship it to you the next business day. If it has already been shipped, we obviously cannot combine it with subsequent purchases. If we can ship multiple items together that you have paid for separately, we will refund your overpayment.
We frequently stop and re-start fixed-price listings with changes in price. When doing so, we try to avoid stopping and editing the price of items on which we have sent offers, but occasionally this can happen due to automated scripts.
If you have bought something, but are waiting for a some other auction item to finish before paying, please send an explicit message to us to let us know.
