Our books are stored in a temperature controlled environment in a smoke and pet free space, handled with the utmost care and attention.

We really do strive for the accuracy of our descriptions and condition reports in each listing. We aim to mention all of the main areas of the condition: the spine, hinges, joints, boards, page edges, page block, etc. We are highly knowledgeable on books and love talking about them!
