Descripción del artículo del vendedor

In 2008 a copy of this book, also still in its shrink wrap, sold in auction for $161.00 and then $241.00. In 2007, an A+ rated copy of this book sold for 336.00 in auction. Obviously the prices has come down since then. I purchased the book in shrink wrap somewhere around that time. Unfortunately I wasn't selling books back then. But I never did remove the shrink wrap, and it's been sitting in my bookcase out of reach of the sun for all these years. To my eye (that is what my eye can see), it looks pretty close to perfect. There is a little crinkle at the spine ends. The corners look fine. There may or may not) be a tiny bump/dent on the front just adjacent to the spine. There's a lot of cellophane there so it's kind of hard to see. I can see that the page edges are perfectly clean, as are the covers of the jacket. I obviously can't see what edition this copy is, so I won't be identifying it as a first. I expected to be listing this book for around $250.00-$300.00 (that's where the least expensive dust jacketed copies were selling when I first bought it) but time can always be counted on to upset expectations. Here is the way the book was described the auction listings: 'A major reference work for those seriously interested in starting a map collection or improving their knowledge on the subject. In the preface, the author states that he is writing for people who wish to acquire collectible maps, and he therefore uses maps that are available and not too expensive as his examples. This book addresses the issues of forgeries, condition, identification, research, purchasing, and collection care. Includes many illustrations in black-and-white and eight in color. Valuable information for the novice collector as well as the long-time serious collector. 320 pp., 250 illustrations in black and white and color. Hardbound with dust jacket.' You can read a little bit more by zooming in on the photo of the rear jacket.…

Descripción de la tienda

Many of the books I will be selling can accurately be described as ranging from somewhat rare to very rare. In some cases there won't be another copy for sale anywhere on the Internet. There doesn't seem much point, for you or me, in offering something that so many others are already offering. Subject matter will range very widely, creating the possibility for people with very different interests to find something that excites them. As regards pricing, my primary goal is to sell the book. Most often I would expect my book to be the least expensive option on the Internet taking into account an appropriate comparison(what is the condition, is the dust jacket present, is the book signed, is it a first printing, etc.). More important than selling the book I want to make sure that you know, as much as is possible, exactly what you are getting. To that end, you'll notice that my descriptions of condition tend to be lengthy, and that there will always be photographs to help you draw your own conclusions. Please feel free to contact me with any questions about a given book. As regards international shipping, the first class or standard rates I charge are based on a package weight between 2 and 3 pounds. If the book is on the thin side there is a possibility that I can securely pack it up under 2 pounds in weight. If so, the shipping price will drop by around $11.00 or $12.00 to $26.00-27.00. Canada, which is less expensive drops to $18.00. You can contact me before purchasing a book for an estimate on the shipping cost. If you buy the book and it weighs in below 2 pounds you'll get a Reduced Shipping message and amount with the invoice and you'll see the lowered final cost before you make your payment.…
