We have sold books since 1976 starting in London on Camden Passage, we have always tried to provide the book as advertised or sold to customers direct when we had a bricks and mortar shop. We have sold to institutional libraries over these 45+ years without any complaints, we therefor offer the same quality of service for all our customers/clients. We pack with 100% recyclable materials, even the tape is bio-degradable. ALL books can be returned in the condition sent for full impartial full refund including any postage costs. We never use the word fine unless it is a NEW book. Nearly Fine or Very Good is used for all 2nd hand books, some rare books may have condition issues which we always give a more detailed description of marks, tears, splits and other faults. We try to provide the same service a buyer would expect from an ABA, AABA, or IOAC member. We don't specialise, lean towards books from the 19th century or earlier, ephemera and magazines. Travel Literature, Children's Books, Illustrated books, prints, posters and all ephemeral printed material from 1500-1980's will be found in our shop here on Abebooks. Our only selling platform.
We guarantee the condition of every book as it's described on the AbeBooks web sites.
