Do you have any questions about our books ? Let us know, we'd love to hear from you!
Do you want to see a photo of a book before you order it ? We try to post as many photos as possible, but sometimes there will be a item in inventory that does not show a photo here. So feel free to ask for photos, we don't mind at all.
We package all of our orders carefully either in a box that has been designed to ship books, or in a padded envelope. We want to make sure you receive your order in the best possible condition!
Our preferred shipping method is USPS Media Mail. Recently, the USPS has added tracking to Media Mail , which has been a great addition to this service.
If you do choose to have your order shipped "Expedited", my shipping cost may seem higher than expected. Some of our books are large format hardcovers that can cost quite a bit when shipped expedited. So I would like to make sure that I can cover the cost upfront. However, if the actual cost of expedited shipping is less than the charge, I will refund the difference!
