PRICE CODES
We are currently in the process of revamping our pricing structure.
Until we can change the entire site, please note the following price codes:
B after a price indicates a budget book that gets no further discount.
D after a price indicates that the 10% discount has already been applied.
S after a price indicates a sale book (damaged or overstock)
that gets no further discount.
* after a price indicates a book which does not qualify for a discount.
(It may be out of print and impossible to reorder, or a short-discount item,
or an item the publisher does not allow us to discount.)
U after a price indicates a used book. (We are still in the process of adding the
"U")
Items with no code are eligible for the 10% discount on the order form unless they are
used books.
When you place an order or make an inquiry by e-mail or phone,
it is important to include the entire price, including the code, and the title, so that we
can find your book easily.
PRICES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE.
We have a minimum order of $7.00.
There is a $1.00 service charge to process orders under this amount.

About the links you will see on some titles
You may notice some of our titles have links to a shopping
cart on our other web site that has a secure server.
This is for your convenience. We process those orders ourselves and often
lower the postage on multi-book and flip chart orders.
If you follow the link and get an error message that the title is no longer
available, and the title is not a used or out of print book, it may mean we are
currently out of stock or that we have temporarily put our listings on vacation
because we can't ship for a few days. Even if a book is on it's way or has just arrived
in the warehouse it won't show on the e-commerce site until I've had time to
update and upload the changes.
You can always
email me to see when the book is expected back in stock or nudge me to get
it back in stock right away.
