This book is what we class as a Bargain Book. Sometimes book publishers print too many copies, in other cases bookstores purchased too many copies and have returned them to the publisher. Bargain Books therefore may have been handled a few times but are still in excellent condition and available at substantial savings over the published list price.

The publisher may place a mark on the edge of the book to identify it as a Bargain Book. This ensures the book will never get returned to the publisher for credit. In most cases the mark is a small line or dot, however sometimes it is large. We do not sell books with excessive marking through our web site.

Since the publisher marks each book by hand and often not in the same location, we are unable to provide information on specific markings on each title. Below are two examples (circled in white) of typical publisher marks that may appear on our Bargain Books.
