Please reach out if you have questions about a particular book or want to see more photos and we will happily accommodate. All books are thoughtfully packed for safe shipment. Returns may be initiated within 10 days of receiving your order. Used books present a unique challenge in that each one, even ones identical in publication, are unique in their condition.

Books sent back to us without first requesting a return will not be accepted. To be eligible for a return, the book must be in the same condition that you received it and in its original packaging. All returns must be securely packed and shipped similar to how they were received.
