As you can imagine, our move, though for the most part smooth and slick, was not the happy experience it might have been for some of the books. Being packed in crates, moved over the road and then unloaded again seems to have been a little too much for some of them, and bumps, and bruises abound.

All of the books below have all of their pages in the right order and are completely readable. They are all, however, less-than-perfect in aesthetic appearance.

These damaged books are not available to order online or over the telephone. Please email Michael Schurer, michael@oxbowbooks.com to order them. All orders will be treated on a strictly first come, first served basis. Those which have already been sold will be removed from this page as quickly as possible.
