All books are pre-owned. Books are complete and are in normal antiquarian state, unless otherwise described. Small imperfections, such as a stamp, slight discoloration, a pictorial ex libris or a name on one of the pages, are not always mentioned. The condition of prints and posters will be described in detail in the confirmation mail.

We use international standards to indicate book, art print and poster conditions. For books, please note that we focus on the condition of the cover. Retrobook does not sell book covers in poor condition, that means a cover so damaged that it is only of interest to a buyer who seeks an impression of the cover. A very good book cover may show some small signs of wear, but no tears and no darkening or fading. A good book cover describes the average used worn book. The book may show signs of wear or shelf wear and/or may be slight sunned or faded. A fair book cover shows signs of wear or shelf wear, will possibly have small tears and some fading or is sunned. The quality of art prints and posters is indicated by the clasification: A, A-, B+, B, B-

Shipment worldwide is from the Netherlands. On all prices on the website we add mailing costs. An order of more than one book can be combined. In general, we will ship the order the same day the PayPal transfer is received. However we cannot guarantee that a buyer will receive the order on a specific day. If the order has to be sent as a parcel, we will use a track & trace option. We ship the order well packed. In general, we will sent prints and posters in a poster roll. However if necessary to prevent damages, we will sent an art print in a flat package. A buyer may ask for additional services. For example a registered shipment or a shipment to another address. We guarantee that we deliver all orders to PostNL or any other postal services, but exclude any responsibility of the shipping risk.

If a buyer of a print or poster requests a certificate of authenticity (COA), we will forward a COA describing the item and presenting our indications to state that it is an original print or poster as described on the website. In case the quality of the book or print/poster differs significantly from the way it was described on the site and/or in the return mail, the client can inform us by e-mail within 5 days after receiving the order. In that case, the client has the right to return the product and will be reimbursed for the costs. Retrobook prefers e-mail correspondence. However, we cannot guarantee continuous presence for contact.
