This book was reduced in price because of the ‘untidy inscription’. I think they should have put the price up, for the same reason

Let me share today’s “Wow!” moment. I bid on this lot because no one else did. Books described as in only “good condition, some torn”. Arrived today. 50 books, most pre-1964, most with original dustwrappers. Excellent condition- and all settling in well to their new home☺️
