Shipping is additional and varies with the size and weight of book. Shipping starts at $4.00 in the US and $10.00 outside the US and increases with the size and weight of book.
Payment may be made by money order, bank check, personal check on a US bank or by PayPal "Friends & Family" option. Using this option there is no fee to either you or to me. I cannot take a PayPal payment unless it is through "Friends & Family".
Books are packed with great care, most are preserved in a poly sleeve with a board insert. Some titles are listed more than once because I have duplicate copies. Prices are based on age, condition and rarity. Many are very scarce. You may send a US check.
