Terms of Sale

Cat's Cradle Booksellers

All offerings are subject to prior sale. Prices exclude postage. For speed and convenience, we prefer shipping via Priority Mail (within the U.S.). Shipment by Media Mail (aka Book Rate) is usually available, but then we cannot be sure how long it will take for you to receive your books, particularly during holiday periods. The rates shown for international shipments are best-estimates. Purchases shipped to a destination in Illinois are subject to sales tax. Everything offered is guaranteed to be as described. If you disagree that an item meets the description (or if you just change your mind), your purchase may be returned within five days for a refund -- in the same condition as received, of course. "Change of mind" refunds do not include shipping charges. Notice that you intend to return a book is required.
