Is the book I want still available?

If you see the book listed on our website that means it is still available. 

We advertise our books on Facebook as well, but purchases made on our website will be honoured first.

How do I know what condition my book is in?

The images displayed on the website and on Facebook are actual photos of the book you purchase. What you see is what you will receive. When a book is sold the previous photos are taken down and replaced with new photos when the book gets restocked. We also describe the condition of the book using our condition guidelines to give you a fair idea of the condition of the book.
