About this seller
I am a book collector for over 35 years, with interests in signed first editions, proofs and limited editions. I am now retiring and selling my private collection plus the odd thing I find on my travels. This is not my livelihood so I describe books accurately and disclose all faults - I will not "overlook" issues just to try and get a sale or give blase descriptions that tell you nothing. All my books are sent securely to ensure they do not arrive damaged - I am contemptuous of sellers who use jiffy bags or plastic wrapping and seem to think that this is good enough.

Terms of Sale
All books in my store are my own and in my possession. I expect customers to read my listings fully and look at all photos and be aware of the terms. I will work with everyone to resolve issues but I expect the same courtesy back - if I don't reply to an email within 24 hours it means I haven't received it so you'll need to resend.
Shipping Terms
I charge shipping that reflects my actual costs. ABE only allows me to set one postage rate so I charge the rate for hardbacks sent in a box with bubble wrap and polystyrene peanuts. Where postage is less - eg a paperback or small hardback - I refund the difference once I get my receipts and know the exact cost. ALL UK parcels are tracked. if you live outside the UK tracking is NOT provided unless you choose priority mail. PRIORITY MAIL TRACKING IS IMMEDIATELY UPDATED otherwise I will only update ABE with UK tracking details on request, and only when 10 working days has passed. There will be times when, due to the value of the book, I will insist on priority mail and this will be clearly stated in my listing. If you ignore this, your order will be refused.
