About West Port Books
We are long established Book sellers and for many years ran the largest used book store in Edinburgh. We are not Box shifters. Our descriptions are of the actual book. We do not give generic descriptions full of mayhaves and maybes. Book descriptions (from New through Very Good to Poor etc ) are in line with normal trade practice and ABE guidelines . Please familiarise yourself with the usage of these terms before ordering. If you require the book just to read then categories "Good" and "Fair" will usually be sufficient as a minimum. "Very good" books are in excellent condition and free of any major signs of wear. If you are a collector and wish books in near pristine condition then you should select books in categories New, Mint, or Fine. Please note that purchases paid direct via paypal or bank transfer(ie not through the ABE payments system) must be paid within 24 hours of the order or the order will be cancelled. Please note that the paypal email address for direct payments is bertbarrott@gmail.com
