We, people on the Acaeum, are after a higher quality of item. It is easy to knock those that don't mind stuff that has had a 'well-used' life. We don't want to be the people that he bitches about. Yes, ask questions of sellers but don't hound them if they aren't as meticulous, read anal, as us.

The books are in great condition. There is barely any staple rust or corrosion and none of the pages are loose. There is a small fraying split at the bottom corner of the 2nd book which is visible in the pictures above. The errata sheet consists of one page with corrections for the book. There is a reference sheet booklet, which consists of 4 fold pages, with various tables and other quick reference material from the books. There is no writing on any of the pages inside the booklet, but there are signatures on the upper inside cover of each booklet, from possibly the original owner. The pages don't have any odor, molds, etc. The books are marked with third printing on the inside of each cover, which makes it one of the first few thousand with Hand Made boxes. I expect that just means putting the label on the front, and putting the books in the box. There is shelf wear on the edge corners of the box, but the box is still very firm and strong with no evidence of crushing.

That said, they must be down to their last 25 copies. When I bought mine last year they were retailing at $4.99. I would say it's just bad timing on that. If it had cropped up when no-one had seen one in a long while (as Stephen's did) then you'd score big time. If it doesn't sell, sit on it until next year. It'll come good eventually.
