CONDITIONS OF SALE

General

1. Only one copy of each item listed in the catalog is available for purchase and all items are subject to prior sale.

2. The images accompanying each entry show the actual book for sale, unless specifically noted.

3. Books are first editions unless otherwise noted. Later printings are noted as such. Books in dust jackets
are identified as such (e.g. DJ or PDJ).

4. The characterization of a book's condition is highly subjective. We have listed the faults and have described the overall condition of each book. Collectible books are generally described in more detail than "common" books. Bookplates, owner signatures, gift inscriptions, and priced clipped dust jackets may not be specifically noted for "common" books. If these items are important to you, please inquire before you buy.

5. The books for sale are often of considerable age and will exhibit wear and show usage and/or damage. The absence of condition remarks in the catalog entry does not mean an item is in perfect condition.

6. A more detailed condition report and additional images can be provided on request for a particular book.
