SMITH OF WOOTTON MAJOR by J.R.R Tolkien ILLUSTRATED by PAULINE BAYNES SMITH OF WOOTEN MAJOR:Once every twenty-four years, the villagers of Wooten Major celebrate the Feast of Good Children. For that occasion the Master Cook bakes a very special cake, to be enjoyed by twenty-four especially good children. One year, the Master Cook's young apprentice secretes a little silver star among the trinkets baked into the cake. The star is unwittingly swallowed by the smith's son - but rather than harm him, it grants him some very special privileges. As he grows up, the star leads the Smith into the land of Faery, a place both beautiful and frightening, where he learns the value of the gift...and the reason why, at last, he cannot keep it. 78pp A physical description follows... To see all of the Tolkien items I am selling whether on sale or not, CLICK HERE!! About Me & This Item... I have been collecting books and music for over 35 years and have amassed an enormous collection. I do not subscribe to "grading" as it is so subjective and most of the "graders" truly have no clue! Therefore I'll simply describe things in normal English! *This is a gently handled and previously read softcover book in GREAT condition. The binding is tight and solid and all pages are crisp and clear showing a minimal amount of shelfwear from handling to the edges and corners of the cover and the pages have started to yellow with age. The spine is lightly creased from a previous read. It is a VERY nice copy! Enjoy... For over a decade, I have sold tens of thousands of items on eBay and have only received a handful of complaints about the accuracy in my descriptions. Having met eBay standards for excellence in trading, you may bid with confidence knowing you will get what you THINK you are bidding on! Please check my feedback. It is a record I am very proud of... I have LOTS of music items, and tons of books available for purchase. Please check my other offerings to see if there is anything else you might be interested in for combined shipping. There are links above and below and why not bookmark my site to make it easier to find at a later date! PAYMENT TERMS: Pretty simple. Pay me, I send it, BUT ONLY TO A REGISTERED ADDRESS! Please do not ask to have it sent to an alternate location as I won't be able to comply per eBay policy. See below.. Why Are My Shipping & Handling Costs a Bit Higher than Other Sellers? Please Read on... GUARANTEED DELIVERY OR YOUR MONEY BACK! I really DO CARE about when and how your product gets to you. Because the post office is so incredibly inept, I ONLY SHIP domestic packages INSURED, which is AUTOMATICALLY INCLUDED in the shipping cost, and that is not free as the post office charges for it. If your parcel gets lost OR damaged in freight, your item will be replaced if one is available OR you will be completely refunded! IMPORTANT MONEY SAVING TIP! If you are bidding on more than one of my items and would like to SAVE MONEY by COMBINING SHIPPING costs, I will be happy to do so, BUT, YOU MUST WAIT until everything you are bidding on finishes and I send you a combined invoice BEFORE you complete checkout. Once you complete checkout on an item, I cannot go back and combine it with anything else as eBay considers it a closed deal. TRUST ME, I will send you a combined invoice at the end of each item with updated and combined shipping costs and any deal discounts that may apply. WHEN YOU ARE DONE BIDDING, winners agree to pay promptly once they receive a final invoice. All of the payment info you need will follow. California deliveries will require sales tax. PAYMENT OPTIONS:I accept Credit Cards, eChecks and electronic transfers with .Unfortunately, direct bank transfers are not offered due to cost and security concerns.As I reside in the USA, all payments must be made in US Dollars & Cents. SHIPPING ADDRESSES: IMPORTANT!! I can ONLY SHIP to the address as noted in PAYPAL'S "TRANSACTION DETAILS". If you want it shipped to an alternate location, you will need to register that address BEFORE paying or it will be shipped to the registered address. SHIPPING COSTS: Shipping costs will be determined by weight & destination. You may click on the SHIPPING & PAYMENT tab found at the top of the page, just under the item's picture for all shipping options to all destinations both domestic and international. There you will find drop down boxes for your location and you can then use the shipping calculator to determine the correct cost for where you live. REALLY, REALLY IMPORTANT INFO ABOUT SHIPPING TIMES:Media Mail (once known as 4th class mail) is a special class of postage for books, music, videos and other printed media available within the US and territories. It is far less expensive than Priority Mail, but - it ..... is ........... slooowwwww!!!! Despite USPS claims of 3-9 day delivery times, MEDIA MAIL CAN actually TAKE UP TO 3 WEEKS to arrive, and their tracking info is frequently not updated until it actually arrives, making that feature pretty useless! PLEASE remember this when you leave feedback scores as the choice is yours and not my fault if it takes a long time to get there! If you want it in a week or less, you are going to have to bite the bullet and pay for Priority Mail which will get it there in 2-3 working days, 99% of the time, but it is more expensive. Basically, the choice is yours, but if you choose media mail, please don't write to me in 5 days asking where your package is, because the post office will have it and most of the time, they don't have a clue! All International deliveries go by Priority Mail and usually arrive within about 2 weeks. Faster shipping is available on request, but expensive.Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. You can check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying. Finally, we do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts"; it is illegal and immoral. Questions? Ask and I'll try to answer...
