Please send me a e-mail before leaving me a bad feedback so it can be resolved. We do our best to accurately describe the condition of items that we sell, but we are not the original owners of our items and we are not able to inspect every page so we may miss something. Older items tend to have some degree of tanning and if we state that an item is an ex-library copy, expect the normal stamps and stickers that are typical for those items. These are all used items unless otherwise specified and although we find items that look new, the majority have been used. So, expect some wear/creasing from normal use. We always ship your package in a timely manner. Unfortunately we have no control over carrier shipping time. Our goal is your 5 star feedback and we will do everything we can to ensure you are happy with your purchase.
