Packing – We pack for success, not excuses.  Your books will be wrapped and boxed for damage-free transit.

Our success is customers getting books they want, and only that.  Therefore, all sales are allowed a three day inspection period, within which time, unsatisfactory items may be returned for refund.

Collections Bought   We are always buying (at wholesale prices) – from whole collections to single books.

Sales Tax / Ca. only – Orders shipped to California addresses must pay applicable sales tax.

"Free Books" – Limit one per paid order - see bottom of main RR books page for list.

Gift Wrap – For an extra $8.00 per gift, we will gift wrap any item(s) and mail it directly to the recipient.  Nothing too fancy, but we will box the item(s) and tailor the wrap to the occasion (birthday, Christmas or other), with a "from / to" tag filled out as you specify.

Wants lists – We have railroad books - you want railroad books, but unfortunately, these are not always the same items.  If you would care to send us your "want list", we will store it and notify you (e-mail or phone, your choice) if we get that item in stock.  There is no obligation on your part - this is only a notification service and interest survey.  Send to: Wants lists

All items first come, first served – if you like it, you can own it.  No false-hope teaser prices, no bidding stress, no sniping – everything is "Buy It Now" priced.  Prices subject to change without notice.

Questions and comments welcomed.
