Store description
An independent online bookseller offering a varied, deliberately selected inventory of fiction, nonfiction, collectible editions, advance reading copies, reference works, and other books chosen for their quality, interest, or unusual subject matter. We keep our inventory selective rather than building a large catalog of commonplace titles. Each book is individually examined and conservatively graded, with attention given to edition, printing, notable attributes, and condition. Listings describe the actual copy offered for sale, and photographs are provided whenever useful for evaluating condition or collectible features. Orders are carefully packaged, shipped promptly, and include tracking. Our focus is accurate descriptions, careful handling, and dependable service.…

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

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.
