About Mysts-of-Tyme books

I stock both new and pre-loved books, booklets and magazines and all are cleaned and checked for imperfections before listing on ebay. I describe the condition of each book as accurately as possible in the item description so you can be confident that what you read and see in the scanned pictures is what you are going to receive.

** Please see my positive feedback to see how happy previous buyers are with their
Mysts-of-Tyme purchases and our service.

Packaging

All books and other items are sent in a bubble wrap lined padded bag both to overseas destinations and within Australia to ensure that they arrive at their new homes in excellent condition. If a book is a softcover, I also include a piece of stiffening cardboard so that the bag cannot be bent en route. All items of A4 size or smaller are sent in a plastic cover for extra protection.
