Le Desespoir aux Quatre Fleuves.

Terms of Sale

We grade all books to AB Bookman's standards, and strive to describe all faults. Fine is our highest grade. Following traditional bookselling terminology, moral law, and our patron saint of bookselling terminology John Carter, the term "first edition" indicates the first printing of an edition.

We welcome your questions, missives, and rants. Please feel free to contact us, or to inform us of your wants. New stock is invariably quoted to our existing customers who have notified us of their interests before it appears on our website.

All items subject to prior sale. Books may be returned within a week of receipt for any reason. Advance notice is appreciated.

We accept major credit cards, Paypal, or domestic checks.
