About Betty's Books Texas, United States
My mother and my grandmother both loved books, so of course I do as well. Being the third generation of a book loving family, my inventory is larger than my home can handle. I have chosen some of the more special books to offer to you in the hope of finding new loving homes for them. Perhaps there is a treasure for which you've been looking, or maybe just an interesting book you would like to read. You may find our names inscribed in some of them. My grandmother's name was Lucy (1900-1987). My mother's name was Betty (1929-2014). And my name is Dinah. I prefer to know these books have been acquired by a fellow book lover, rather than to give them away where their value may not be recognized. For that reason, I intend the prices to be modest, and always negotiable. I'll pass a book along gladly to be cherished again. Note regarding shipping costs: Media shipping costs have gone up substantially and it's been necessary to pass that along. Even so, I'm taking a small loss for shipping.
30 day return guarantee, with full refund including original shipping costs for up to 30 days after delivery if an item arrives misdescribed or damaged.
