Prices, Discounts
All prices are in Euros and are exclusive of costs for postage & packaging. Buying books via the internet is often a costly affair in view of the costs of P&P. In order to overcome this problem, Essef grants a nice discount on larger orders. This way we make buying books from us more attractive for you! per 01-01-2005 the following discounts are applicable:
Orders up to 30 Euros: no discount. Orders above 30 Euros - used books portion of the order only: 20 % discount.

For older, collectible books, especially from the vintage era [1939 - 1969] we sometimes use terminology derived from US online stores and price catalogues. For instance, many "Ace Doubles" are graded like this.
Do not hesitate to ask us for more information, should things not be clear.
