Medieval Books for Sale
The idea is to make the process easy for me and easy for you. Books are listed by title, author, publisher, and date. These are decidedly incomplete and non-professional descriptions. If you would like more detailed publication or descriptive information, please email me (arn@karolus.net). Books not marked "Paper" have hard covers.
The Fine Print: books may include light marking in pen or pencil and/or a glued in or embossed bookplate (if you would like more detail about a particular book, just ask). Books marked ex lib may have stamps or stickers in or on them. "Like new" means "as if unread." The book may show evidence of having been taken off a shelf and returned to it repeatedly or of having been sent through the mail. The spine of a dust cover may be sun faded; other defects are as described. Illustrations are indicated only when there is a significant number (all art books are illustrated). If you have questions about a book, just ask.
Pricing is ultra-simplified. Prices are only four: $10, $20, $30, $50 (with a few exceptions -- see also the Bargain Bin). If you are unhappy with any price, email me and let's talk (arn@karolus.net). If you are a student, please let me know. All prices are negotiable, but I will be especially pleased to reduce prices for students and junior faculty significantly. I will accept payment ONLY by check or via PayPal (details below). Postage: $4/1st book; $1/ea. additional book (larger orders will be charged actual postage; please inquire). I will ship your book (USPS) within three (3) days of receipt of your PayPal payment or of your check (I trust that the check is what it purports to be.) No special shipping. Overseas shipping is expensive For details click
So, if you find a book or books you would like to have, send me an email (arn@karolus.net) with the title and author, your name and postal address, and your desired method of payment.
If you choose to pay with PayPal, I will email you a PayPal invoice, which you can pay simply by clicking on it. Then I will ship your book out to you.
If you choose to send a check, emailing me first will guarantee that the book is still available when the check arrives. Send your check to me:
