Condition

  • As New
  • Very Good
  • Good
  • Acceptable

A bright, uncreased copy. The spine has never been asked to work hard, and the pages still smell of the printers. I would happily shelve this one face out.

PRICED BECAUSE

I priced this copy at $14 because comparable recent copies sit around that mark, and this one is cleaner than most I found.

The departments

  • The Register

    Our used-book department and the heart of the shop. Every copy is accessioned with its own record, graded honestly on a four-tier scale, and described in my own words before it reaches the shelf.

  • Goods

    Totes, bookmarks and enamel pins. Small, sturdy things for people who carry books everywhere.

  • New Books

    New books are arriving in a later chapter. For now the register keeps me happily busy, and I would rather do one thing properly than two things by halves.

Why a register?

Because a used book is not a product line, it is a single object with its own history, and it deserves a record of its own. I grade each copy honestly, write its condition note myself, and tell you plainly why it is priced the way it is. Every copy is the copy.
