Shipping Procedures I pride myself on quick shipping. I ship next business day after payment is received. Please note Buyers from outside of the United States are responsible for any and all duties, tariffs or other fees that YOUR country may impose. Once a package is in the Postal Service hands, I lose control over it. Generally, for US shipments you can expect delivery within 3 or 4 business days (or 3-9 for media rate). For non-US shipments, once the package leaves the US, even the USPS loses control over it. I cannot predict transit times for these packages. They quite often are held up in customs in the receiving country. Please be patient.

This vintage first edition is a treasure for collectors—beautiful full calf leather with gilt edges and a silk page marker. Despite minor wear and a faint stain, it’s in great shape for its age. Service’s poetic memoir of Parisian bohemian life and wartime service is as captivating as the book itself. A true piece of literary history!
