PAYMENT. Do not send payment with order, but payment in advance through a pro-forma invoice or quote sent by mail, telephone or internet is required. Payment by personal check, postal money order is acceptable (always in US funds.) Instruments of payment should be made out to "Warren F. Broderick" so do not use the word "Books" on any such instrument. Cash sent via registered mail or Western Union is accepted from outside the United States. I now accept PayPal. I do not accept credit card orders directly. Credit card orders must be placed through the Advanced Book Exchange (ABEBOOKS) web site, and the only acceptable credit cards are Master Card and Visa. Libraries and institutions are billed according to their purchasing policies.

DEALERS' DISCOUNT. Dealers can deduct 10% dealers' discount on orders sent directly to me only on the cost of books only (before shipping charges are added), except for a very few titles considered ¿bargain books¿ (see my web site for a list of these) which are NET to all. No dealers' discount is allowed on orders placed through the ABEBOOKS web site ........

SHIPPING EXPENSES. Postage and insurance (if requested) are extra. Because shipping costs vary greatly (especially for foreign shipments) due to size and weight of books, please contact me to discuss shipping methods and charges. Insurance is optional and involves an extra expense. All uninsured domestic media mail shipments include proof of delivery as part of the shipping cost. All foreign shipments include customs declarations.

PHONE AND E-MAIL ORDERS. Phone orders accepted evenings (5-10 PM, EST) and weekends at (518) 235-4041. Absolutely no phone calls received at work! E-mail orders are welcomed at wbroder2@nycap.rr.com. Also, you may print out and mail the order form found on this web site. Incoming fax is not available at present.

CONDITION OF BOOKS. Books are octavo in size unless otherwise noted. Condition is described in terminology commonly used in the antiquarian book trade. "Fair" or "reading" copies are the least acceptable for reference use. "Good" means the book shows wear but is basically sound. "Good+" books show less wear, while "v.g." books show little use. "Fine," "mint," "excellent" and "as new" are synonymous, meaning showing virtually no use at all. Overstock or remainder marks on book edges are not mentioned unless they are especially obnoxious. Dust jackets are v.g. unless otherwise noted. Mylar d.j. protectors may be present but are not listed. Books are not shipped "on approval!" Books are only returnable if serious defects (such as missing leaves or plates) are present and not stated so in this catalog. If in doubt about condition, please call to discuss the book in question, or don't order the title.

BOOKS LOST IN TRANSIT. If the shipment is insured, I will refund the total paid immediately and process the insurance claim myself. If not insured, I will split the loss 50/50 with the customer. Insurance is not required, but is recommended for domestic shipments of valuable books.

If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal

Statutory right to withdraw

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.

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.

We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.

You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Warren F. Broderick - Books, Troy, New York, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

Exceptions to the right of withdrawal

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:

1. The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
2. The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
