This book is in Excellent condition. There is no writing in the interior and it has been read and enjoyed carefully.

This item will ship with a bubble envelope. However, if I need to combine shipping, then this item will ship in a sturdy postal box, plus packing material if needed.

MINT: Perfect condition, never used and brand new. Typically this is unopened and in the original packaging. Considered to be collectible condition for collectors.
NEAR MINT: Opened but never used. All parts are complete and accounted for. Not damaged or marked on in any way (by marker, pen, pencil, etc). Almost perfect, collectible condition.
EXCELLENT: Barely used with no damage. All parts complete. May have very slight wear on cover or outsides. No writing, highlightings or markings unless they are unobtrusive. No tears or stains. Above average condition.
VERY GOOD & GOOD: the cover or insides may be slightly worn. This may have pencil marks or writing on the material. May have some small tears or creases (usually in the form of some corner, spine or edge wear). Usually still a complete item with nothing missing (unless noted otherwise). Average condition, one that is meant to be used or read again.
FAIR: Worn or damaged cover and insides. Heavy writing or highlighting may be present. Handouts or inserts may be missing (but copies typically included - item is still complete unless noted). Less than average but still usable. Meant to be used or read again.

1) I accept PAYPAL only. I do NOT accept Money Orders. I do NOT accept personal cheques and I do NOT accept cash in the mail. Please make sure your e-Bay and Paypal account is fully functional BEFORE you bid!

2) I do not accept bids from bidders who total negative overall in their feedback, or have an obvious history of bidding delinquency. I also do not accept bidders who have changed their ID within 30 days. I will cancel your bid without notice.

3) If you win the auction, please wait for me to give you a Paypal invoice! I shall provide you with the total shipping amount in this invoice unless I have already provided shiping cost. Do NOT change the shipping amount without my prior consent!

4) Customers have SEVEN (7) calendar days (NOT business days) to make payment by PAYPAL after I have sent you the email with the final shipping price. After seven (7) calendar days, bidders/users who fail to make payment, OR respond to my Payment Reminders and Emails, will receive BOTH "Negative" feedback and their user name added to my "Blocked" list.

5) IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE PAYING ME with the Pay Now button on your invoice, please A) go to the PayPal site, B) select the "Send Money" function of the main page and C) use my email address, geoste@sympatico.ca, to make payment from there.

6) Customers who are having other technical troubles or delays with their payment: please EMAIL me.

7) I will happily combine shipping costs for multiple purchases, to the same address, by the winning bidder for auctions the end within 1 week of time. The combined cost will depend ENTIRELY on the final weight and physical size of the parcel to be mailed. Multiple items will most likely ship in a box. If you win multiple items, please email me about your intention to combine shipping! I will email you your final shipping amount via Paypal.

8) Shipping price will always be the exact price as paid by myself plus a Canadian dollar (CAD) to US dollar conversion (USD). To this is added the cost of bubble envelope or a postal box, along with any other packing material if needed. A bubble envelope will cost around $1.20 USD (good for a single or couple of 8 x 11 inch books). A box may cost around $2.40 to $4.20 USD or more . The above auction text will say whether an envelope or box is needed and if I need to buy one from the postal office. If I have provided a shipping amount then this cost is already included in that total.

9) As a further measure, I always get a Tracking Number and Insurance (up to $100.00) and this may add $1.00 to the shipping price if I get Canada Post Ground rate (Canada Post X-Press Post includes this). This is for your protection as well as my own and this is not negotiable. Note that if the package is over a certain weight, I absolutely must ship by Express.

10) All prices are in USD (U.S. Dollar) unless otherwise specified in the above text under "Description".

11) If the final shipping price (after Tracking and postal materials such as box or envelope) costs less than what I quoted you, I will automatically refund the difference if it is over $2 USD (approx $2.40 CAD).

12) I do have other methods of shipping available: UPS or FedEx. If you prefer either of these then please let me know prior to payment so I can give you a new shipping cost. Please note that either of these two will definitely cost more to ship than Canada post.
