Frequently Asked Questions
What kinds of books do you sell?
We specialise in carefully selected books with lasting interest — including first editions, signed copies, modern literature, Australian writing, and distinctive or collectible hardbacks. Every book is individually chosen, described, and packed with care.
Are all books listed in stock?
Yes. All books shown on our website are physically in stock and ready to ship. What you see is exactly what you’ll receive.
How do you describe book condition?
We take condition seriously and aim to describe each book accurately and conservatively. Any notable flaws — such as wear, foxing, fading, or inscriptions — are clearly noted in the listing description. If you’d like additional photos or details before purchasing, just ask.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes, we ship internationally. Shipping options, costs, and delivery timeframes are shown at checkout. All books are professionally packed to ensure they arrive safely, wherever they’re headed.
How are books packaged?
Every book is packed with care and attention. Items are wrapped to protect dust jackets and boards, cushioned appropriately, and boxed securely. We pack books the way we would want to receive them ourselves.
Do you accept returns?
If a book arrives and isn’t as described, please contact us within 7 days of receipt. We’re happy to arrange a return and provide a full refund once the book is safely returned in its original condition.
Do you buy books or collections?
Yes. We’re always interested in purchasing quality books, whether individual items or small collections. If you’re considering selling, feel free to get in touch with details and photos where possible.
Do you accept book donations?
We’re happy to accept book donations from those who prefer not to sell. As space is limited, we can only take donations where there is a reasonable quantity of saleable books. Any items we’re unable to sell are thoughtfully passed on to local charities.
Can I reserve a book or request something specific?
If you’re looking for a particular title, author, or edition, you’re very welcome to reach out. We’re always happy to keep an eye out for books that align with your interests.
How can I contact you?
You can reach us via the contact form on our website or by email. We aim to respond promptly and are always happy to talk books. Our email address is inkandsignaturebooks.com.au.
