SPECIAL CurleyQ Site News
Due to the CPSIS
(HR404) I have rearranged my books for sale so that the pre 1985
books can be purchased as collectables and not for use for children under
13 years of age.
IMPORTANT: My prices will remain the same, but Pre-1985 books must be sold as collectables for adult use only.
New Postal Rates effective May 11, 2009!

A Word about my USED BOOKS --
I have tried to describe all major flaws, please realize that they are "used" books. Most books are described as "good". This means that the book is fully functional and sturdy. It does not mean that it is like new or in collectable condition. If you are looking for a collector condition book please let me know and I will give you a better detail. Please assume that all ex.lib books are not collector books.
I put forth my best effort to describe or grade my books
according to ABE books and the and
other acceptable book grading scales such as the Independent Online Bookseller's Association.
I have paraphrased the scale I use below:
As New: To be used only when the book is in the same immaculate condition to which it was published. (As a personal side note: some "new" books I have seen in Brick and Mortar Book stores aren't this good)
***If you notice a book that I have described as Reading Copy Only. Please consider it only that. I wouldn't normally pick this condition of book up, but if I did, I have found it to be OOP, scarce and highly recommended.***
