Ordering Information

Please remember that most of our used or rare books are one-of-a-kind. It is best to contact us to reserve the book(s) you are interested in to avoid disappointment.

Postage & handling for books shipped within the USA via USPS is $3.00 for the first book and $1.00 for each additional book. We can also ship via Priority Mail. This price is dependent upon the weight and distance, so please ask for a quote.

IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ: We suggest that you consider adding insurance for your order. Over the years we have only had 1-2 orders go missing, but shipping without insurance will be at the customer's risk. We will gladly quote you the insurance costs for your consideration.

We can also ship via UPS. Cost is dependent upon weight and distance. (If you have an account with UPS we can also charge the shipping portion to that account number. In these cases there is a flat $1.00 packaging fee.)

For orders to be delivered outside of the U.S. please contact us with the delivery address and we will quote prices to that address. Please note that the United States Postal Service has discontinued Surface Mail effective May 14, 2007. All overseas shipments will now go by one of four Air Mail options.

We accept Visa, Mastercard, Money Orders, and Checks in U.S. dollars drawn on a U.S. bank. Please see our Contact Information below. The most secure payment method would be to phone or fax us with your credit card information. If you are outside of the U.S. this information can also be sent to us in a regular letter or by email. We suggest that you send it in several parts in more than one email. Another method for foreign orders would be a money transfer via Western Union. This is very quick and secure.

Any book may be returned within 14 days for any reason. The purchase price less postage & handling will be promptly refunded.


We are happy to receive your "Wants" list. These are kept on record, and you will be notified when we are able to locate a copy BEFORE listing that copy for sale. You are under NO OBLIGATION to purchase any books that we are able to locate.
