What are your shipping rates?
Shipping is based entirely upon weight and distance. Media Mail is offered for book orders. Priority Mail is offered and required for all non-book orders. Exact shipping charges are calculated during checkout.



What are the conditions of your books?
I use these general guidelines:

Like new: little or no spine creasing, no marks or stamps, very minimal shelf wear or yellowing. Read once very gently or never read .

Good: Some spine creasing, page yellowing and shelf wear. No stamps or marks. Read a few times with care.

Average: Visible spine creasing. Pages are tight. Cover may have bent corners. Pages may show significant yellowing. May have store stamps or marks. The average condition of a used book you'd find in a "real world" bookstore. Likely read by several people or circulated.

Reading copy: significant spine creasing, yellowing, shelf wear or bent corners. May have store stamps, marks. Pages are intact. A Worn book. Okay for reading, but not suitable for collectors.

Most of the wear or flaws will be noted in the description area of the product information. If you have a specific question about a particular product, please email customer service. Click here to email

Do you combine orders on your website with orders from other venues?

For US customers who would like to purchase books from multiple sites, I will gladly combine shipping. In most cases, this will have to be in the form of a refund of any shipping overages.

Do your eBay offers apply here?

No, the Buried By Books webstore has independent sales and promotions. Please see the Sales and Promo page for more details and information on current offers.
