Note about our out-of-print titles: All our out of print books are sold as-is and are non-returnable. They are in complete, readable condition. They are almost always used. We will often note any significant flaws if they exist. Our prices reflect condition. If you are a condition fetishist, we suggest you stop by the shop to see the title for yourself. If you are a flipper or a re-seller, please shop elsewhere. Our goal is to get our books into the hands of people who want to read them.
