Store Description

We are a small business working out of our home. We started this business by downsizing our own personal library. We believe that real books still matter and anticipate replenishing our stock from estate sales, etc. The business is operated by family and the owner is retired and has ASL (Lou Gehrig's Disease). Thank you in advance for your potential business. Note: All books are used!! We treat our books like family , but not everyone does. Paperbacks have wear marks on the spine due to multiple readings. Hardcover books are in very good shape unless noted in the description. Children's books may have torn or loose pages, or scribbles in/on them. We try to note these conditions in the description. THIS IS A USED BOOK. It may contain highlighting/underlining and/or the book may show heavier signs of wear . It may also be ex-library or without dust jacket. There may be times that the shipping and handling rates may be adjusted as it falls outside the flat rate provided. We will notify you of any changes in shipping rates.
