Terms of sale
Please send cash, check, or money order to my PO Box or physical address, or you may pay online with your credit card using the ABE Commerce purchase option, or via PayPal at www.paypal.com specifying payment to my email address. For PayPal-purchased books under $10, I request an additional fee of $0.50 to offset the transaction fee that PayPal charges me. Overseas PayPal customers may make payment in US Dollars, Pounds Sterling, or Euros after factoring the appropriate conversion rates.
Sales tax of 8.125 is charged on shipments to California addresses.
To guarantee delivery of books, buyers should request and pay for postal insurance. This costs $1.30 for the first $50 of coverage, $2.20 for $100 of coverage, plus $1 additional for each additional $100 of coverage. Insurance is not available for international orders unless shipped via parcel post, which itself costs additional.
Please note that a listed book may have been sold to a prior buyer and not yet removed from the database. I will hold books for 10 days while awaiting payment.
If you wish to see a photo or scan of any book, I can email an electronic image to you. However, this may take extra time.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you place an ABE Book Order without specifying payment type, please be aware that the book is automatically removed from the online database when you do this, and thus you will no longer find the book online afterwards. If you later decide you wish to pay for your order by credit card, please contact me via email and I will restore the book to the online database so that you may find it online to order and pay for it using the ABECommerce option.
BOOK DEALER NOTES:
*No discount is offered for internet book sales.
**No California sales tax will be charged to California book dealers who supply me with their CA resale number; otherwise the state sales tax of 8.125% will apply. No sales tax is charged to out of state book dealers.
***I will drop-ship a book to your national or international customer upon receiving prepayment for the book plus shipping. IMPORTANT: If your customer's address is in California, I also require prepayment of CA sales tax of 8.125% prior to shipping.
