Hello, and thank you for browsing The Raven's Cache! Caw! 🐦‍⬛ 
This book is a pre-loved former library book in good condition ready to go to its next destination. Library books are special, because they've been loved by many, and we're glad this one is going to find its way to you!
Most library books do contain library markings that might include a tag on the side, a stamp (or two) on the inside, and possibly an index card. 
Below, you can find examples of how I rate my books before they go to their new homes. It's important to know the quality of the book you're getting, so I've taken pictures of any aspect of the book that renders it pre-loved rather than new. 
All books are shipped quickly (next business day), and come from a smoke and pet free home.

✅  How The Raven's Cache rates its books:
- LIKE NEW: I will never rate a library book like new. These are books that look like they've never been read or owned. 
- EXCELLENT: The best condition for library books, and a great condition for books otherwise. Library books will have library markings (always pictured), but will have no further noted wear and tear. For non-library books, these are the books that have been read, but are not show no remarkable signs of wear, tear or defect.
- GOOD: Show signs of use and mild to moderate wear. All pages are in tact and the book is completely readable. Library books have library markings, and some non-library books may have a dedication or stamp or sticker, some creases. Signs of formerly being loved.
- FAIR: A book that shows visible signs of wear and tear. These books might have creases, folds, markings, or missing dust jackets (all pictured).  A 'fair' book will ALWAYS have its pages in tact, and the full book will be readable.
- POOR: These books have seen better days. The pages might be loose, there are visible signs of wear and tear, the spine might be coming free from the book.

Two Families and the Children the State Took Away

In an era when headlines often seem dominated by horrific stories about abused children, Solomon's Sword weaves together the elements of two painful custody battles into a memorable book that no reader who cares about children will be able to put aside. In examining collisions between children, parents, and the law, Shapiro meets judges, lawyers, social workers, clergy, and therapists who must advocate a course of action in thousands of cases each year across America. Reading about these dedicated people, professionals in the vanguard of new approaches to the problem of mistreated children, will leave readers hopeful that we are finally learning how to ameliorate this enduring national disgrace. Solomon's Sword sheds new light on a dire social problem in a powerful book that will influence public policy for years to come.

Great Travel Writers Talk about Their Craft, Lives, and Inspiration

Great writers inspire readers to head out in search of foreign sunsets, but in this instance, they inspired travel writer Michael Shapiro to head out for the great writers themselves. A Sense of Place is one writer's journey to visit all the heroes who have motivated him - to pack a pen and toothbrush, to find out where they live, why they chose the place, and how it influences their writing.
