I am selling some of my beloved books. I have collected these titles over the years in the hope that they would make me a better instructor, artist and human being. They have been my treasures, my guides and my friends.
I am extremely picky about the conditions of my books so consider them new (unless otherwise noted.) They are in excellent condition, free from markings, etc. HC is a hardcover book while PB is paperback. I can send extra photos (on request) for books listed with flaws. All books are exactly as described.
Shipping is extra. If you buy more than one book, I will combine shipping charges. (For example, if you buy one book and the shipping is $5 and a second book and the shipping is $3, you will NOT be charged $8 but a flat fee based on the weight, etc...)
I take good care of my books and they will be well packaged.
Insurance is extra, but recommended. USPS media mail includes free tracking. Unless requested (and for an additional fee of whatever the actual shipping cost is), all books will ship via media mail.
Please note the shipping is for US residents. Outside of the US, please email me for a quote.
Please note that I will ship any orders within 72 hours starting on March 18th.
When a book is sold, I will mark it sold (and as soon as possible). I will offer a discount on combined book purchases.
If you have any questions please email me at Egorey99@sbcglobal.net
