In addition to the cataloged books, there will be approximately
1,000 books from which books may be selected for auction to start
at an opening bid of $2.00. These requested books are to be placed
on tables near the podium. If you cannot attend the full auction
session, we will be glad to auction your requested books during
the first half hour. We will auction the requested books during
the first half-hour followed by the numbered catalog. At the end
of the cataloged books, the remaining requested books will be
auctioned.
1. All
books are cloth and 8vo unless stated.
2.
All bids are to be per lot as numbered in the catalogue.
3. All property is sold "AS IS", and any representation or statement
by the auctioneer in any catalogue, brochure or advertisement
as to the authorship, attribution, genuineness, origin, date,
age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price is a statement
of opinion only. Every person interested should exercise and rely
on his own judgment as to such matters and neither the auctioneer
nor his agents are responsible for the correctness of such opinions.
4. Notwithstanding the preceding condition, property may be returned
by the purchaser, the sale rescinded and the purchase reduced
under the following conditions: 1. printed books, which prove
upon collation to be defective in text or illustrations (provided
such defects are not indicated in the catalogue or at the sale)
2. autographs & photographs are not authentic (if not indicated
in the catalog or at the sale). Written notice, by registered
mail return receipt requested, of the cause for return must be
received by P & B Books within fourteen (14) days of the sale
of the property, and the property must be returned to P & B Books
in the same condition as it was at the time of the sale. BOOKS
IN LOTS ARE NOT SUBJECT TO RETURN FOR ANY REASON.
5. On the fall of the Auctioneer's hammer, title to the offered
lot will pass to the highest acknowledged bidder unless the lot
did not meet a reserved price, who thereupon immediately assumes
full risk and responsibility thereof, and will immediately pay
the full purchase price thereof. No lot may be taken away unless
the purchase price thereof has been paid in full.
6. The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer shall be
the purchaser. In the event of any dispute between bidders, the
auctioneer shall have absolute discretion either to determine
the successful bidder, or to re-offer and resell the lot in dispute.
If any dispute arises after the sale, P & B Books sale records
shall be conclusive as to the purchaser, amount on the highest
bid, and in all other respects.
7.
P & B Books reserves the right to withdraw any property at any
time before its actual final sale, and to refuse any bid from
any bidder. The Auctioneer is the sole judge as to the amount
to be advanced by each succeeding bid.
8. The highest acknowledged bid shall be increased by a BUYER'S
PREMIUM OF 10% OF THE BID. The sum of the bid and the premium
shall be the purchase price payable by the buyer. Unless exempted
by law from the payment thereof. The purchaser will be required
to pay Connecticut Sales Tax

Bids which are submitted to P & B Books in writing, or are otherwise
left with P & B Books prior to an auction for execution at or

be responsible for failing to execute such bids, or for errors
relating to the execution of such bids.
