Store description
I unearth paper treasures for your reading pleasure. I started selling books when my father left me his vintage paperback collection, almost 25 years ago. I grade condition conservatively and do my best to convey all flaws, and to respond quickly to questions. When issues arise, I do my best to come up with solutions that keep both parties happy. When I'm not panning for gold in thrift stores and estate sales, I'm listening to records, hanging out with my family, or playing tabletop games.
