Movie tie-in release. Little wear. A single spine crease corresponds to the section of photos from the movie. A small piece (1 cm x 0.5 cm) missing from the edge of the back cover. Pages are clean, tight and unmarked. Originally published in 1811.

A full set of the Lemony Snicket masterpiece. Perhaps not quite a masterpiece like the Mona Lisa, or the Roman aqueducts, or a really well-prepared filet mignon, but the best he's ever done (or so it's been said, perhaps even by Daniel Handler). Anyway, volumes six through thirteen are first editions with complete number lines. Some volumes have the original owner's name inside the front cover. Most show little to no wear, a few are a little dusty and volume ten has had something spilled on it, leaving a stain on the top page edges and on the rear free endpaper. Impact to the other pages is inconsequential, a word which means you will be able to read and understand the suffering of the Baudelaire orphans with no disruption. By buying the set as a single unit, you will also avoid having to pay shipping thirteen times, no doubt a benefit for all but the wealthiest of readers. All excess shipping costs for this weighty tome are included in the list price. This set will ship at ten pounds or more,… Leer más

No dust jacket. Book is in very good condition, no marks, no damages, few signs of wear. From the author of Catch-22. Heller's satirical wit shines through this stream of consciousness telling of Bob Slocum's somewhat absurd life.

First edition. The black fabric cover shows little wear, other than a small gouge to the rear edge of the spine, near the middle (see the arrow in photo #2). Owner's bookplate sticker inside the front cover. The main issue for this book involves the deckle-edged pages. While the pages are tight, clean and unmarked, the red-dyed top edges were once exposed to a small amount of water. This has left the tops of those last two thirds of the pages a little wavy and has carried down the red dye between 2 and 8 mm from the top edge. You can see the affected area in photo #4 and the effect it had on the pages in photo #5. This is a rare book, and I would have asked over $50 without this water issue. I have cut about a third off the price due to this damage.

Two small tears in the dust jacket and a bit of crinkling at the base of the spine. The book is in great shape. Basically, this is an autobiography of Vonnegut and his alter ego Kilgore Trout, tied together by a loose plot about a rerun of ten years.

Very little wear. Owner's name inside front cover. Deckle-edged pages are clean, tight and intact. A Barnes and Noble reprint of a novel first published in 1848. This book will ship at over two pounds. Excess shipping costs are included in the list price.

Trade paperback. Very little wear. 144 pages are clean, tight and unmarked. No spine creases. A satirical look at what you should know when dealing with someone else's pregnancy, like, say, your wife's. Just so there is no confusion, the covers are clearly marked, in a red banner, as "A Parody".

No noticeable signs of wear other than a tiny bit of shelf wear at the lower front right corner. Plain gray dust jacket over equally plain gray paperback cover. A very nice book that appears to be unread. Persephone Books # 43. If you are afraid of Virginia Woolf, give her hubby Leonard a try. A highly valued bibliophile's edition.
