This copy looks 'as new' but has had an owner's name clipped from the top margin of the half-title page [first leaf in the book]. This book is too thick to qualify for the rate shown which applies only to 500g or less, and/or under 20mm thick [CPO Lettermail]. ABE is unable to calculate correct rates because its system is unaware of the actual weight or dimensions of the shipment or the exact details of the distance/location to be shipped,or the speed etc required. The 'estimate' thus shown is not a guaranteed rate. ABE shows the same rate for ALL shipments no matter the weight/size or destination.
