    refund policy -
    due to the excuses used for returns/ refunds - I do except returns BUT - I
    do not
    refund any shipping costs
    -there or back --so
    please ask questions if you are unsure
    or I missed anything. THANKS
    for understanding  --
    and remember -
    this book is very old and
    may have accumulated bad smells along the way [musty basement/ mildew/ smoke]
    - I have found that
    dryer sheets in them for a few months makes a world of difference!
    some of my books get sold right away so
    please consider using this trick before deciding to return it!
    My nose doesn't work like it use to
    so the old book smell doesn't bother me.
    As far as I can tell -this book does not smell bad
