Are these used books?
All books are never read and range from like new to very good condition. If, upon arrival, you are dissatisfied with the quality of your books, contact us and we will find a resolution.

I have added everything to my cart that I want to buy. Is this a quote or exact cost?
The total balance is exactly how much you will pay for the books you have selected. Please note that shipping is a separate cost that is calculated after you complete your purchase.
