What is Remaindered Book?
A TIME Best Children's Book of 2019!
A Chicago Public Library 2019 Best of the Best Book!
*"This minimalistic masterpiece is a must-read for all ages." --School Library Journal (starred review!)
A quirky, cautionary tale from beloved New York Times bestselling picture book creator Oliver Jeffers!
There was once a man who believed he owned everything and set out to survey what was his.
"You are mine," Fausto said to the flower, the sheep, and the mountain, and they all bowed before him. But they were not enough for Fausto, so he conquered a boat and set out to sea . . .
Combining bold art and powerful prose, and working in traditional lithographic printmaking techniques for the first time, world-renowned talent Oliver Jeffers has created a poignant modern-day fable to touch the hearts of adults and children alike.
Remaindered Books are books that were returned to the publisher from the booksellers across the world. When the book first enters the retail channel, the balance of unsold stock is retuned to the publishers for credit.
Remaindered books usually have black mark so they can't be returned or sold for the original price.
So... What's the Big Deal with Remainder Marks?
The mark is a dot of stripe across the top or bottom of the book on the outside of the pages. Remainder marks are no big deal if you are purchasing a book as a reading copy.
If you are purchasing the book for a collection or to re-sell, bear in mind that remaindere marks are considered to be a defect by most collectors, except in very rare cases
