Biblio member since 2018
Seller rating: This seller has earned a 5 of 5 Stars rating from Biblio customers.

I am a small used book seller who specializes in rare, out of print, first editions, and peculiar books as well as a few more current titles. I describe my books accurately and am competitive with pricing. I NEVER use any photos other than my own (though others have used my photos for their listings) and the book shown on my listing is THE BOOK you will receive. I shrinkwrap my books and pack them with plenty of protection so they get to my customer in the same condition as described. I prefer to use Standard Shipping Media Mail and my books always arrive on time or early. I am open to all questions or inquiries. Thank you! Cassie

Terms of Sale: 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. I use Media Mail Standard Shipping and have always had my books delivered on time or early using this method of shipping.
