Book Condition & PricingHow we grade our books.
Disclaimer:
The condition of all books in the Lost and Bound inventory is subjective. Due to the nature of an online used book store, we cannot examine every page in every book. We make note of any flaw that strays from the book's overall condition grade. Our business is geared more towards readers than rare book collectors; books are graded and priced as such. Books that are known to be rare will be priced as such. If the price of a book exceeds $10, we will accommodate collectors by verifying any print information and scanning in the cover, spine, back, or any requested pages. Please note that images of books shown on the site are not necessarily images of that particular copy of the book.
E-mail inquiries about books are always accepted.

Search Tips
- Entering more search terms limits the search results - it does not expand them.
- Start with a simple search and only add more words
or criteria if you get too many results.
- Using "" around your title search will limit results to the exact phrase between the quotes.
- If your book title was not found, the title will automatically be broken up into keywords and searched by the individual words. Results will then be ranked according to how many of your search words were found in any title.
- Removing "The" from the beginning of a title may improve your results.
- Books that are in series are listed in the following format Series #x : Title regardless of how the series name appears on the cover. This is done so that books in series are shown together when sorted.
- Authors may be searched by
their first name, last name, both, or part of a name. This is useful for example if you want to browse Fantasy authors whose last name begins with the letter m. Just enter m into the last name field.
- Many books (especially older ones) do not have ISBN info in the database, so it is not a reliable way to search.
- If you find that some aspect of the search is not working properly or can be improved, please let us know.

To access your saved cart in the future you must re-enter this name, so don't forget it. Saving items in your cart does not guarantee they will still be available to buy when you return to view them.

Shipping & Handling
Note- We will not ship to prisons unless special arrangements have been made. Most prisons have strict rules on incoming mail and will only accept books direct from the publisher or from pre-determined major retailers. An alternative is to have books shipped elsewhere and make arrangements for someone to deliver them to the inmate.
Orders are shipped several times a week, within 2 business days of receiving the order excluding postal holidays. We will ship via the USPS by the methods listed in the table below. Clicking on the shipping method links will take you to the USPS website for more information. * Domestic delivery estimates are for the continental US only. Deliveries to AK, HI, APO addresses, Puerto Rico, etc. can take considerably longer. We recommend expedited shipping to such domestic locations.
**International delivery estimates can vary greatly based on destination and it depends largely on the destination's postal system. Not all countries support
global priority mailings for example.
***These estimates are based on those provided by the USPS and from other sources. Actual delivery times are almost always closest to the shortest times listed, however none of the above shipping methods have "guaranteed" delivery times by the USPS and so longer shipping times are possible.
All orders placed through the website default to the domestic standard Media Mail method. All international or domestic expedited shipping charges will need to be computed based on weight and destination. When you select a shipping method other than domestic standard, we will weigh your order and e-mail you with a link to view updated shipping rates and complete payment or cancel your order. Our standard US shipping rates for USPS Media Mail are as follows*:
$ 2.50 base rate for up to two books
$ 0.25 for each additional book
Example: 5 books ship for $3.25
We try to reuse and recycle as many shipping materials as possible and we encourage you to do the same. All items are packed securely with protection from moisture and mishandling.
