As a rule, all my books are priced at 40-55% off their retail price. “Retail” is defined as an average used bookstore, such as Green Apple. In an effort to maintain the best possible deals for my customers, I am constantly researching prices in the general marketplace and making accordant adjustments to mine. I am able to say with a degree of confidence that no one offers better quality for the price than myself. I will also deliver your books for a reasonable fee.
