We're interested in buying these books, 1st edition, 1st printing, hardbacks in dustjackets, only. Condition must be a minimum of very good plus book in very good plus dustjacket. All defects must be noted in any quotes. Please also include any information on publisher, date, location published, or points/issues/states.
On the books, we need to know: Is the spine straight (no slant or cocking)? Any writing in the book? Any soiling to binding or text? Any bookplates? Any embossed seals? Any bumping to spine ends, binding edges, or corners? Any wear or rubbing? Is the text tight or loose? Any creases or turned down corners on the pages?
On the dustjackets, we need to know: Is the price intact? Any tears? Any chips? Any rubs? Any creases or wrinkles? Any soiling? Any fading?
These are our current wants; we are certainly open to other fine books, particularly first books by authors who have since become well-known, and signed books.
