Elsevier is is currently out of stock, indefinitely. Elsevier is considering printing them again and have been for years. Contact Elsevier if you want to find out when they will reprint the chart as we have no way of knowing.

The copies that we have in stock were damaged in shipment either to us or from us to a customer. The damage is normally constrained to the white border area around the chart image. The damage may be crumpling due to sudden stops of the outside tube. In some cases the chart may also have tears in this area.

All the copies we have in inventory are sold AS IS. No exchanges or refunds will be made. All sales are final.

We will choose the best copy we have available at the time of your purchase. If we consider it damages above and beyond what is acceptable we will ask you before we ship the chart.

You may place your order and in the note field request images showing the damage to your copy. I will send you those images before we complete your order and send you your chart. This will give you a chance to cancel your order if you believe the damage is beyond what is acceptable to you.

I will not provide pictures before you place an order as the images must be of the actual copy of the chart you are receiving. The chart isn't yours until you've paid for it. Sending you images of the best copy we have in stock is useless if someone else actually purchases the best copy available before you make the purchase. You could just in a loop of sending you images of worse and worse copies until you either make the purchase of decide not to. You will have a minimum of 3 business days to approve your chart after I have sent you the images of your chart.

I always have trouble photographing products but I'll give it my best shot. I am also always very busy and I will have to find a quiet moment (or many, many moments to get it right) to take the picture. It can take a couple of days or more before I find that open moment. 

Regular description stuff begins now:
