BOOKS FOR THESE TIMES: read them while you still can...
Welcome to our eBay outlet, Books For These Times - your source for out-of-print books. We hope you'll also visit our website where you'll find a current inventory that is double that in the eBay store. We have many more books available than those listed and add more titles weekly. Our goal is to increase our database to 5,000 books by Spring 2006. If you seek a title not listed in the eBay store or our website, please ask. We may have it or can find it for you. We do book searches.
What are books for these times? They are books meant to inform, entertain and provoke the reader and, we hope, meant to keep the reader reading and wanting more books. This book mania means wear and tear on books and we go the extra mile with our literary finds. We inspect, clean and slipcover many of our books. Our hardcovers with dustjackets should be kept in their dustjackets at all times. We wrap the jackets in mylar covers so that the dustjacket can do it's job without falling apart. This is required for collectible books and even a good idea for every hardcover with a dustjacket. It's just good for the book.
"You do what???" In this time of attempts to rehabilitate the environment and other failing systems, we rehabilitate books. We feel that a sturdy but cosmetically flawed softcover edition from 1980, when cleaned up, repaired (if necessary) and slipcovered, is often a better book than a brand new edition put out this week. You can feel the difference - the pages are tighter, the slipcover turns it into a tough read you can drop into your backpack, messenger bag or pocket without destroying it. Loan one of our slipcovered softcovers to a friend, circulate it among many friends or release it into the unknown at a Bookcrossing, to be found by a stranger, hungry for a good story. These volumes wear like iron. It's just our special good deed to encourage literary excellence in Western Civilization... Slipcovered volumes will be noted in their listing description and not all softcover books that we sell are slipcovered. All hardcovers with dustjackets have mylar wraps on their jackets and odd sized books may have a custom made cover. Collectible hardcovers that are minus jackets usually have a slipcover applied directly to the book to protect the cloth or paper boards.
To protect bidder privacy, when the price or highest bid on an item reaches or exceeds a certain level, User IDs will be displayed as anonymous names. For auction items, a bold price means at least one bid has been received.
Note: Anonymous names may appear more than once and may represent different bidders.
