Store description
I am a long-time book collector who has sold on another website for a number of years and hope to broaden my exposure to other buyers, collectors. I provide every bit of information that I can based on my research on the value of an item as well as its edition, condition and rarity. I provide plenty of photos that show every book in detail. The last thing I want is a return, which, by the way, I have never had.
Specialty
Most of the books will be older books that may be harder to find. Majority of the books will be pre-Seller's business information
