Descripci�n de la librer�a

PRIVATE LIBRARY SALES: on-line disposal from home of personal items; specifically books acquired over a lifetime, via collection, gift and inheritance, for my own enjoyment rather than as stock in trade. In furtherance of both domestic downsizing and capital release my library is subject to long term disposal by, firstly, selective on line sale, secondly, donation to charity and, finally, waste recycling. As a merely part-time seller this retired private individual, for additional reasons of age and infirmity, is reluctantly offering for sale, solely on line, books selected individually on the basis of interest, scarcity, condition and potential sale value. These items accumulated for their content through inheritance, private gifts (including former bookshop display stock) and collection and all in my possession for years, are chosen from a still excessively large domestic private library. They are mainly out of print, twentieth century non-fiction editions, both academic and non-academic. PLEASE NOTE : FIRSTLY, neither in the past nor currently have books been acquired with sale in mind. No part of this diminishing library, including that currently subject to listing for sale, will have ever been originally acquired by me from anywhere with any specific intention of selling on. I have never kept separate retail premises. I have never in the past bought and do not now buy books to sell and therefore I have never been a book dealer. Any book listed for sale will already have been in my ownership for at leat two years, though usually for far longer, and will have come from no other source than my own personal library. Though a collector years ago I no longer attend auctions, book fairs, car boot sales etc; books sometimes acquired for my own personal use are not listed, if ever, until at least two years later. I am merely a private, non-employed, non-professional, retired, part-time seller who, out of financial necessity, is running down, as a part-time occupation, their own extensive private library. I am merely selectively selling off personal possessions, specifically books. Since proceeds from the sale of such possessions cannot yield any trading profit I am not trading as such and therefore ABD is not registered as a business. Offers, whether from the public or trade, of books for me to purchase are neither solicited nor accepted. As an amateur, private seller I regret that trade discounts are unavailable. SECONDLY, 'New' books here are not necessarily publisher supplied and are listed regardless of any criteria other than their actual physical condition; that condition overrides. The AbeBooks Advanced Search page All Conditions filter opposes 'New' against 'Used' (despite 'New' referring more usually to recent pre-retail acquisition rather than to a condition). Since 'New' and 'Used' conditions are not defined 'New' is here taken to be the synonym of unused and thus 'Used', requiring physical change from unused, is the antonym of both. Since any 'Condition' can only relate to physical criteria that overriding binary distinction is applied here solely on the basis of the observed absence or presence of physical evidence of use, i.e. from having been opened/read or just obvious handling, regardless of whether in print, age or source, none being conditions as such. Therefore a 'New' book is defined here solely by the absence of such evidence and regardless of any of the above. Variation in any does not necessarily result in change in physical condition and thus, exceptionally, though ex display, long out of print or even retailed a book may still remain unused and therefore 'New'. So regardless, IF they are still obviously unused, such books are listed 'New, that condition overriding; descriptions may qualify that in respect of slight deterioration. The conditions 'As New' and 'Fine' may be used in more borderline cases. New books are listed preferentially over others in inferior condition.
