About H. M. Smith (used books)

I'm another friendly Independent Bookseller who strives for accuracy with same day or next day shipping. Most books are used and some are rare or out-of-print. I have over 180 catalogs for easier browsing. All quotes are welcomed, especially for multiple orders. Book Grades: As New - No defects. Fine - not as crisp as new. Very Good - Has minor defects. Good - general wear to the book. Fair - will have wear and tear. Poor - Will have complete text present, but there will be major faults to these books.
