    I want to tell you about the professional work that Monarch Books has done when I ordered my book through them. Not only did they get in touch with me, almost next day. They processed my order and I had my book within a 2 week period. I want to tell you that Monarch Books in Raleigh, NC has done a bang up job. Thanks - L.S.

    Tip of the Month
    Make sure to check the complete address, including the country, before you ship a book. Fraudulent buyers will occasionally select a less-suspicious country from the [Country] drop-down list in their account, but then add their country to the address fields. In these cases, their addresses might look like this: ADDRESS, Indonesia (ID), New Zealand. [View Security]
