Quirky Used Books & More offers our customers a rather offbeat selection of books including hard to find titles, out of print titles, and overall, a "quirky" collection of books! Quirky has been selling online for over 10 years. We will consider *reasonable* offers. We look forward to doing business with you! We'll be happy to provide you with photos upon request or answer any questions you may have about items.
When you buy a book from us, Quirky Books will pack and ship your purchase in a very sturdy cardboard mailer. We do not send out our books in bubble mailers, or simply in a plastic shipping envelope. We clean every book as thoroughly as possible, and we describe it thoroughly. We encourage you to ask us to send you photos of the book or publication in which you are interested, and we will fulfill that request. We appreciate your business and we will strive to keep you happy with your purchase!
