FAMOUS CASES OF DR THORNDYKE - R. Austin Freeman [1929 1ère éd] SIGNÉ par soldes lauteur

Postage & Packaging

I am a bookseller based in the South West of England with many years of experience selling on eBay and shipping books worldwide. Once payment is received, your order will be dispatched on the next available posting day.

My priority is to ensure your book arrives promptly and securely, without damage. Books are first wrapped in strong protective bubble wrap and then placed in a bespoke card book mailer for added protection. Larger volumes and sets are carefully packed in reinforced, hand-cut cardboard boxes to ensure their safe arrival.

As a fellow bibliophile, I fully appreciate the value of a book and treat every order with the care and respect it deserves.

Payment

• My preferred payment method is PayPal, and it is the only accepted payment option for buyers outside the United Kingdom (i.e., those not residing in England, Scotland, Wales, or Northern Ireland).

• For UK buyers only, I also accept personal cheques and postal orders. If paying by either of these methods, please note that your package will be dispatched only after the funds have cleared, which may cause a slight delay.

Book Condition Ratings

As a reputable online bookseller, I adhere to the Independent Online Booksellers Association (IOBA) guidelines for describing book conditions. Below is an explanation of each rating:

• MINT (M): A flawless, unread book in the same immaculate condition as when it was published. (Note: Very few ‘new' books qualify for this grade, as minor rubs, scuffs, or bumped corners often occur during shipping or shelving.)

• FINE (F): Nearly perfect but may show slight signs of careful reading. The dust jacket may have very minor rubbing or slight bumping at the spine ends.

• NEAR FINE (NF): Approaches Fine but may have a couple of minor defects or faults.

• VERY GOOD (VG): A used book showing some signs of wear on the binding or dust jacket. Any defects or faults will be noted.

• GOOD (G): An average used and worn book with all pages intact. Any defects will be specified.

• FAIR: A worn book with complete text pages (including maps or plates, if applicable) but possibly missing endpapers, half-title pages, etc. (all of which will be noted). The binding or dust jacket may also show significant wear.

• POOR / READING COPY: A heavily worn book where its primary value is the complete and legible text. It may have loose pages, soiling, staining, or significant damage. Any missing maps or plates will be noted.

• EX-LIBRARY: Always designated as such, regardless of condition.

• BOOK CLUB: Always noted as such, regardless of soldes condition.

• BINDING COPY: A book with complete text pages but a damaged, loose, or missing binding.

Additional Notes:

• If a book was originally issued with a dust jacket or slipcase, its absence will always be noted in the listing.

• Any significant flaws, such as inscriptions, underlining, or marginalia, will be mentioned in the description.
