Shopbeschreibung

"Beautiful books at great prices." I've collected lovely old books and rare first editions for years. Hope you find something that interests you. I want to send these beauties to a happy home. Hope that's yours! I found hundreds of nice dust jackets with no books to cover. Need one for your library? Have a look at that category! Have some dust jackets to sell? Drop me a line! I ship domestically in the US using the Post Office and internationally using consolidation services. Books are always wrapped then packed in cardboard boxes with padding to protect the contents. International shipments are double boxed with shipping paperwork attached to the outside of the box using a special envelope. And a complete duplicate of all the paperwork packed inside the outer box in case the attached set wanders off. Previous international shipments to Austria, Australia, Bahrain, Canada, Germany, Hong Kong, Spain, Sweden, UK --> Help me fill in my international bingo card!…
