About JAC Books
ABOUT THE STORE: I am not a professional bookseller. I have been collecting books for over 60 years but age, finances, and related issues now demand that I begin making the books available to others who can appreciate them. To begin, I've been listing books in the horror, SF, fantasy, and mystery categories. Many of these books were purchased from dealers such as Gerry de la Ree and Robert Weinberg or directly from publishers such as Don Grant and Cemetery Dance. I was an early enthusiast of the Lovecraft group of writers (I was on my way to visit August Derleth in early July of 1971 when I heard that he had just died). I m working on listing more books in these fields, getting photos on line, etc. In the future I hope to include books on geology, caves, environment, science, art, general literature and fiction in addition to topographic maps, magazines, some original art, and more. SHIPPING: For standard shipping in the U.S. via USPS Media Mail I ask $5.00 for one book and $1.00 for one or more additional books in that shipment. You need not add the $1 extra if the additional book is a chapbook (or "wraps"). You will be notified if extra shipping costs are needed (for Priority mail, International shipments, heavy or oversized books, or special handling as requested by the buyer). I will pay for insurance for more valuable books. Reduced shipping costs are available for multiple book orders or small, light-weight items such as pocketbooks & chapbooks. USPS PRIORITY shipping in the U.S. is available but the cost varies depending on weight and destination. USPS charges for nearby Priority shipping are in the $10-16 range for one book (if shipping weight is under 4 pounds), and increases for more distant locations. Wish I could be more specific. Add what you think is fair and I will let you know if additional shipping will be needed. INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: International shipping costs are often inconsistent and confusing. As of September 2024, minimum cost to ship one book to Canada or the U.K. is about $25. More distant countries will be about $30 or more; and $50 or more for shipments to the most distant places (e.g., Japan, Australia). If weight exceeds 4 pounds, it must go Priority mail, which increases the price to over $80. Check with the U.S. or local Postal System websites to get a better estimate of shipping.
