I know what they look like, I'm talking about photos of the actual photos of the book that I would be questioning. If anyone expects me to buy their book, I either want photos of said book or a guarantee promising a full refund including shipping if I'm displeased with the book.

I don't collect books to waste money on something that is not as described.
I find its best to buy local for the more common firsts. Theres tons of them out there, so theres no rush to buy them. Hit Good Will and the Salvation Army as well as book stores and you'll find some great bargains.
