Where do your books come from?
We purchase books anywhere we find them. Most of the books come from estate sales and book stores going out of business. We also buy book lots through classified ads. Occasionally books are donated to us by people who know our love of books and trust that they will find a good home.

What condition are your books in?
The condition of each book is noted in their description. Every book we put up for sale has been examined and cleaned. Our ratings are: New, Like New, Good, Fair, Acceptable.

What types of payment do you accept?
We accept Mastercard, Visa or PayPal online. You can also mail in a check or money order. Books will be held for 7 days for check or money order purchases.

What if I'm not happy with my purchase?
If the book you receive is not the book you ordered or the condition is other than advertised, we will refund the purchase price when the book is returned. The book must be in as-sold condition.

How long will it take to receive my purchase?
That depends on where you live and what type of delivery you choose on check out. For example, a book sent by Media Mail can take up to two weeks to arrive in some areas of the United States. The same book send by Priority Mail will be received within two to three days. The estimated length of delivery appears with each type, along with the cost, when you check out.
