Store description
New bookseller finding appreciative homes for an eclectic collection of used books acquired over the lifetime of their previous owner. The majority of the books date from the late 1900's to the mid-2000's. Almost all are flawed in some manner due to use, time, and improper storage. While not usually beautiful books, the contents will reflect the author's interests and knowledge of their time whether writing fiction or non-fiction. We have a wide selection of both.

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).
