due to the excuses used for returns/ refunds - I do except returns BUT - I
do not

-there or back --so
please ask questions if you are unsure
or I missed anything. THANKS
for understanding  --
and remember -
this book is very old and
may have accumulated bad smells along the way [musty basement/ mildew/ smoke]
- I have found that
dryer sheets in them for a few months makes a world of difference!
some of my books get sold right away so
please consider using this trick before deciding to return it!
My nose doesn't work like it use to
so the old book smell doesn't bother me.
As far as I can tell -this book does not smell bad
