Ordering Information
We can take your order by email or telephone and ship to any destination you
wish. We also take special orders for titles that are currently in print. If you don't find the title you're looking
for let us know as we put new stock on the shelves daily.
All Books listed at the Archives are guaranteed "Good" or better according to our scale below. All used dust jacketed books include a
Brodart (protective plastic sleeve).
Note: Not all described conditions
apply to every book. A book in good
condition may only have one defect that would otherwise keep it from being
a classified as very good.
Mint: A book in the same condition
as when it left the publisher. No marks,
scratches or defects. A book in this category will apparently never have been read
and will be tight and crisp, shiny and bright. Might even have that new book smell!
Fine: No noticeable defects,
publishers marks, scratches, owner's marks,
stamps or bookplates. The book should be similar to "very fine" but will have
been read and will lack the brilliance of a "very fine" book.
Very Good: Insignificant rubbing,
minor defects affecting neither usability
or general appearance. Dust jacket might be price clipped.
Good: Normal shelf wear, insignificant
flaws noticeable when inspected closely.
Boards and binding stable; (not loose). Previous owner's name or bookplate,
very light pencil marks, corners slightly bumped.
Fair: Minor tears, soiling,
hinges loose, binding shaken but intact, corners bumped,
dinged and frayed, moderate penciling, some pen underlining, foxing. Kicked about
like a lost dog, a reading copy. We do not list books over the internet in this category.
Poor: Large tears, missing pages,
bent, folded, mutilated, swirled crayon markings,
heavy penciling, heavy ink marks, heavily soiled, boards detached. Looks to have been used as a doorstop, furniture
brace, or garage work tool. Good for Bantha fodder.
