Welcome to Always More to Give. We are a family-owned business in Delray Beach, Florida. Through our work with estate liquidations and curated resale, we have the privilege of discovering libraries filled with everything from everyday reading copies to signed books, first editions, vintage and antiquarian works, and other unique finds. Every collection has a story, and we enjoy matching those books with readers, collectors, and institutions that will appreciate them for years to come. Our inventory is constantly changing and includes fiction, history, art, military, religion, children’s books, cookbooks, and many other subjects.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
