Return Policy

We accept a return for any reason within 14 days and will refund the purchase price of the book.

If the return is due to our description error we will also refund the postage, going both ways.

Please return the book in its original packing or pack protected against moisture in a sturdy, well padded box, large enough to protect the corners. Let us know that you are returning a book.

We pack securely. Over 16 years, we have never had a problem due to packaging within North America, Western Europe, or Japan. The US Post Office, although sometimes slow, has failed to deliver a book only once during all that time. We are not responsible for the repacking job done by customs agents.
