This is a massive book titled Complete Price Guide to Watches. It contains 1,218 pages on 10,350 watches. There are 7,850 photos. The authors are Tom Engle, Richard E. Gilbert, and Cooksey Shugart.
According to the info on the cover:
The most reliable and convenient guide to watches available. This annual book is a mini encyclopedia and includes American Pocket Watches, European Pocket Watches, American and European Wrist Watches, Comic & Character Watches. With current information, Identification, Tips, History, and Terminology. A wealth of information that you need to know before you buy or sell a watch. This book is the definitive guide for collectors and amateurs alike.
Although the book is dated 2007, it has a wealth of information all about watches of all types and brands. The book is in excellent ‘like new’ condition.
All items in my listings come from either estate or garage sales. I do not know if they came from homes where smoking or pets were present. All items are sold in the same condition as when I received them.
The delivery method I am quoting is for USPS Media Mail. Media Mail is the most inexpensive method that the post office offers, and is for items like books, music, etc. The problem is that since it’s the most inexpensive, it’s also the most delayed as far as expected delivery time. I’ve had Media Mail packages take over 3 weeks to be delivered. We do have the option of mailing it by USPS Priority Mail Flat Rate packaging which should take 3-5 days for delivery, but that rate would be about $5 more.
If you prefer Flat Rate shipping, let me know and I’ll adjust the invoice before payment is made.
Buyer to pay $7.75 USPS Media Mail delivery charges.
SPECIAL NOTE about SHIPPING CHARGES: Twice yearly and again in November for the holiday season (so 3 times each year) the postal service increases shipping charges. Previously, shipping charges were based on weight and zip code. Now, the postal service has divided the United States in to 8 zones and all packages are charged by weight, size, and destination zone. This year's increases have added an additional 1.36 cents to up to $4.03 on packages. I try to absorb some of the new charges and haven't increased my shipping charges in three years. This year, unfortunately, I have to increase the shipping. I'll try to keep it reasonable and even absorb some of the changes when possible.
About Combined Shipping:
I do combine shipping on multiple items purchased, but as stated above, my web host is not set up to calculate multiple item shipping costs. At checkout, you will be charged full shipping price on each item purchased and I will refund the appropriate amount of over payment. If you are uncomfortable with that, send me a message with your zip code and stating which items you'll be purchasing and I'll calculate the correct combined shipping charges and send you a custom invoice.
INTERNATIONAL PURCHASES
Due to claims that merchandise is not being received at various international countries (although Customs tracking verifies the delivery), I will no longer be able to process international orders unless payment is made with U.S. currency, including conversion fees. Orders will be processed after funds have cleared a U.S. bank. PAYPAL WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED FOR INTERNATIONAL PURCHASES. Seller reserves the right to void any international transactions where contact has not been made prior to purchasing.
