THESE OMNIBUS BOOKS ARE ALL VERY VERY HEAVY AS BASICALLY YOU HAVE 14 HARDCOVERS COMBINED INTO 3 BOOKS. Books & original Dust Jackets are very nice condition - all 3 books appear unread without creased page corners and no crease marks on exterior spines (because of the thickness of these books if they are read while laying flat they create obvious spine creasing marks), no missing pages or endpapers, no former ownership markings or used bookstore stamps inside, no foxing/dust soiling/age darkening/dust soiling to outer page edges which are still white, no soiling or staining to boards, no bumped board corners. Original Dust Jackets: small closed tear at top left on front panel on Quintet otherwise no chipping, tearing or creasing to DJs, no wear to DJ spine tips, no wear to flap creases, no edge wear to any of the DJs, no soiling or staining of note to DJs, fading to individual book titles to spine on Essential otherwise no spine fading, ever so faint spine sun darkening to spine on Quartet. Overall a nice FINE-/N-FINE books in VG+ to N-FINE dust jackets of a very difficult to find Ian Fleming James Bond complete set of all 14 James Bond books published in 3 large omnibus hardcovers by the ORIGINAL UK PUBLISHER JONATHAN CAPE. I have a number of other U.S. and U.K. Ian Fleming James Bond 1st printing hardcover appearances up for auction on ebay - just click on the 'see other items' link to the right of the picture. NOTE - MEDIA MAIL ROUTINELY TAKES 3-4 WEEKS (REGARDLESS OF WHAT EBAY MAY SAY - THEY DON'T CONTROL THE POST OFFICE). For U.S. buyers, both priority mail (3-5 days) and media mail (3-4 weeks) shipping options will be listed in the ebay invoice (or if the book is a paperback or small magazine both 1st class mail (5-7 days) and media mail shipping options will be listed in the ebay invoice) - SIMPLY CLICK ON THE BLUE 'OTHER SHIPPING OPTIONS' LINK IN THE INVOICE TO SEE BOTH SHIPPING OPTIONS/COST. As for returns -All items are used (not new) books and therefore are sold as-is, which is why I try to provide a fairly detailed description of the item itself (i.e. what it is and what it is not) as well its specific condition, noting any significant defects (for collectible items). Book grades are provided in the posting, however book grading standards/categories very widely from seller to seller, so please do not rely solely on the grade that I have given a book or ebay's provided "condition" box description, without considering the specific condition/defects described for that particular book. I do, on occasion, miss a significant defect in an item or simply make a cut/paste error in the description (i.e. an error in the description from using a prior posting as the "shell" for this book's description), and for collectible items, if that happens, on a case-by-case basis I do issue a full refund (including the cost of return shipping) depending upon the collectible significance of the undisclosed defects. DELIVERY CONFIRMATION IS NOT TRACKING (despite what ebay and paypal want to call it - again they don't control the U.S. post office). Delivery confirmation is merely what it says it is - it confirms delivery to prevent fraudulent chargebacks of claimed unreceived items (which is why I don't charge for delivery confirmation in the shipping costs). Also, since I print shipping labels from home (as opposed to purchasing shipping at the post office), the delivery confirmation number IS NOT SCANNED BY THE POST OFFICE AT THIS END. Therefore, in most cases, the first time that the Post Office will show anything when you check the delivery confirmation number is when the package hits your local post office/sorting center (basically the day before its delivered to you). Occasionally (about 25% of the time) a package will get scanned at the Federal Way, WA transfer station, but in the vast majority of the cases the delivery confirmation won't show anything until basically the day before you get the package. I DO COMBINE SHIPPING COSTS FOR MULTIPLE ITEMS WON (if you would like estimates of what combined shipping costs might be for a certain group of auctions, please e-mail me before the auctions close but a very rough estimate is $.50-$1.00 per additional book for media mail, $1.00-$2.00 per additional book for priority mail, and $6.00-$7.00 per additional book for international mail).
