When you place an order through our Site, you represent that you are legally capable of entering into binding contracts and that the information you provide is accurate and complete.

We make every effort to accurately describe the condition and characteristics of all items listed on our Site.

If you believe an item's condition was materially misrepresented, please contact us for a full refund.
All vintage and rare books are sold as-is with respect to their age and natural patina. Minor age-related imperfections that are typical of items of the described condition are not grounds for return unless specifically noted as absent in the listing.
