If you order an item marked PRE-ORDER, please note that the release date is our best estimate and that all items in that order will be held UNTIL THE PRE-ORDERED ITEM IS AVAILABLE TO SHIP. ON SHIPPING: We typically ship orders once a week, sometimes more, depending upon volume received. Good: May have any of the defects above to a greater degree: rumpled or slightly torn dust jackets, bumps to the boards, etc.įair: A reading copy with significant cosmetic damage. May have minor defects: clipped or chipped dust jacket, dinged corners, etc.

New: Straight out of the printer’s carton with no obvious defects.įine: Clean, with no defects, but may show slight wear at edges of book or dust jacket. ON CONDITIONS: Though I use the traditional book-grading terms listed below, it is not possible to annotate the specific defects of each copy, so I’ve defined my terms to describe the average quality of the books in the respective grades.

We usually reply within 24 hours unless it’s a weekend or holiday (though, very often, even then).
