A thoroughly diverse clutch of material, consisting of books, pamphlets, posters, post cards, printed ephemera, unbound proof copies, pornography, unique copies, and the like, all generally in Very Good condition. These include many imprints from The Jargon Society, the University of Illinois Press (his employer), The Finial Press, the Red Herring Press, as well as more fugitive pieces, probably executed for pleasure in limited issues. Altogether, in excess of three hundred items, varying in size from folio to diminutive scraps of small printed paper. Moore has been reckoned to be one of American's most accomplished, most unknown printers of the latter half of the twentieth century.

Terms of sale
CWO, in U.S. funds. Libraries only may be billed. $ 5.00 postage and handling for the first volume: $2.00 for each succeeding volume. Foreign orders shipped via surface mails (and M-bags, if warranted), at cost, or via Air Mail, or Global Priority Mails, or by Global Priority Express also at cost. Inquire, if uncertain, about the use of Global Priority on heavier books or multi-volume sets. (I do not encourage the use of M-bag Air Mails: this method seems to take about the same amount of time as M-bag surface mails but it costs considerably more than Surface rates). If need be, telephone me at 1-(413)-773-5811, for clarifications.

Effects of withdrawal

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.
