Store description
I am an old book reader and collector and over the course of my life I have acquired a good number of books. However, as the good book says, for everything there is a season. The time has come for me to cast away or say goodbye to my collection. I will do my best to give the best and most accurate information about the books to any interested buyer and I hope any book sold meets expectations. The book community has developed standards for describing characteristics of books. For the most part, this method has worked well and I will do my best to adhere to it. However, it involves a degree of subjectivity and one person's "Fine" is another's "Very Good". Since a picture is worth a thousand words, or so they say, I will depend on images to support my words. …
