Imperfect

We aim for all our books to be in the best condition possible - the Best Books, in the Best Condition, with the Best Service. However, sometimes a book arrives with us that - despite being a great title - is in far from very good condition. We can either throw the book out or we can offer it to our customers at a reduced price, with no frills packaging.

So below you will find all those Imperfect books. The books that you really want to read but don't mind that the dust jacket is missing, the binding is split or it's covered with library stamps.
