At the time, the intellectual scene felt disturbingly fragmented and drained of vitality: political magazines didn’t care about literature, literary magazines didn’t discuss politics, and big ideas had to be buried in tiny book reviews. The founding editors wanted to make a magazine that could encompass all the subjects they cared about—one that didn’t shy away from difficult and ambitious writing, and that saw literature, politics, and culture as aspects of the same project.” —THE PUBLISHER • “The bellwether of a new generation of literary intellectuals.” —HARPER’S • “The rightful heir to THE PARTISAN REVIEW and THE NEW YORK REVIEW OF BOOKS. It is rigorous, curious, and provocative.” —MALCOLM GLADWELL • “N+1 has reinvented the little magazine.” —TORIL MOI • “They have sometimes functioned as a vanguard…and sometimes as a way of keeping unfashionable ideas alive in difficult times…. N+1 is explicitly and without embarrassment devoted to the idea that thought can advance.” —A. O. SCOTT, NEW YORK TIMES • “So many good writers have come tumbling out of that small journal in the past few years that it’s begun to resemble an intellectual clown car.” —DWIGHT GARNER, NEW YORK TIMES • “An island of hope in a sea of inanity.” —NANCY FRASER • “A concentration of work without precedent or equal in the US or anywhere else.” —FRANCIS MULHERN, NEW LEFT REVIEW • “One of the consistently excellent periodicals of the last decade.” —PANKAJ MISHRA • “A lively, stimulating magazine of a rare intellectual scope.” —JOYCE CAROL OATES • “Just when you think you’re intellectually alone in the world, something like N+1 falls into your hands.” —JONATHAN FRANZEN • “I think I’m in more danger from N+1 than from al Qaeda.” —SALMAN RUSHDIE ********************** /\___/\=•ᆺ•= “We believe it’s good business to be good to our customers.” *********** FLAPPINCAT’s HOUSE RULES ***********1. GENERAL TREATMENT. We enjoy treating FLAPPINCAT customers with honesty & respect & warmth because that’s how we like to be treated when we buy things on eBay.2. GENERAL ATTITUDE. We are grateful you choose to trust us with your business. We aim for that gratitude to permeate every part of how we engage with you.3. OUR DESCRIPTIONS. We describe every item we sell as clearly and accurately as we can. When it comes to describing condition, we tend toward being conservative. 4. PACKING & SHIPPING. We know from experience that items, when not thoughtfully packed, can be damaged during shipment. To avoid that real danger, FLAPPINCAT wraps & cushions your purchase(s) mindfully—and sometimes zealously—in a sturdy package. WARNING: In our zeal, we sometimes over-tape containers and you may need a penknife to unseal our shipments. NOTE: Though we often recycle shipping materials, we do NOT stint on protection. 5. OUR PRICES. We try to offer the lowest prices on eBay for items we sell. Even our most expensive offerings tend to be lower than what others are asking. “You could look it up!” —to quote baseball immortal JACK KEEFE. SUMMARY: We know you have many buying options on eBay. FLAPPINCAT tries to be distinctive by being accurate, mindful, and friendly. *********** How We GRADECONDITION ***********DETAILS. The condition of every item we sell will be described in detail.FLAWS. All discernible flaws will be noted, if not emphasized. Of course, the grading of condition can be subjective. And since no grader is perfect, it is possible that we may at times miss a flaw. It is also possible that we may miss some perfections! Should we make a mistake, you will find FLAPPINCAT eager to fix things with you. Just send us a note and we’ll get on it.GRADING SYSTEM. For books and magazines (and even other items), we use these terms (in order of desirability): VERY FINE or LIKE NEW FINE (or EXCELLENT) NEAR FINE (or NF) VERY GOOD PLUS (or VG+) VERY GOOD (or VG) GOOD FAIR ACCEPTABLE POOR “POOR.” Except in rare cases, for rare items, we tend to avoid selling items that are in utterly “POOR” condition. It is more likely that on a rare item, only one part of an item (out of numerous parts) will be described as “POOR.”RETURNS. We accept that you may wish to return a purchase because you genuinely think we haven't described and graded its condition properly. We accept that we our* imperfect. We also accept that people can see things differently—and still be civil! (*Get it?)POP QUIZ. Please feel free to ask questions at any time about condition (or anything else, except math). EXTRA VISUALS. Although we include multiple photographs in our listings, we usually have others we could share with you. (These extra photos also help to establish a paper-trial in the rare case that an item is damaged en route to you.)*********** SHIPPING ***********Every item is individually priced for postage.
