I WILL LEAVE YOU FEEDBACK ONCE YOU HAVE LEFT SOME FOR ME. IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH THE ITEM PLEASE CONTACT ME AND PLEASE DON’T JUST LEAVE NEUTRAL OR NEGATIVE FEEDBACK AS I WILL LEAVE THE SAME FOR YOU.

I DO NOT ACCEPT RETURN OF BOOKS UNLESS WE MUTUALLY AGREE. THE REASON BEING IS THAT IN THE PAST PEOPLE HAVE ASKED FOR REFUNDS THEN SENT BACK A DIFFERENT BOOK TO THE ONE THEY WON OFF ME. PLEASE ASK ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU BUY RATHER THAN COMPLAINING AFTER YOU’VE BOUGHT IT. CHECK OUT MY FEEDBACK FOR SATISFIED CUSTOMERS.

In the case of books, I take information from the inside and with no intention to deceive I may say it is a 1st, but that may just be to that publishing company etc.
In the absence of any other editions being shown in the book, I will assume that the book is therefore a 1st edition. This may not be the case and as with all books I sell, I ask you to verify for yourself the details shown. I am a private seller and not a book dealer so my in depth knowledge is limited but I try and give as much information on the item as I feel is relevant.
