Only with us you will find a UNIQUE 100% 'leaf through warranty', which means we looked at each page inside the periodical. This is a USED item, not a NEW one, so it is not perfect by definition. We mention all significant condition faults, if present. Only if we left out from our 'condition description' any significant condition issues, we provide a prepaid return label for US purchases or return postage refund for non-US purchases. So ONLY in that case we refund paid amounts fully. No returns are accepted nor full nor partial refunds are provided in case of minor/insignificant condition issues like a small tear, dent, fold, spot or similar, nor in case of buyer remorse/change of mind.
