If you did not find the book you need here, try the links below.

Tom Folio, the first booksellers cooperative in the United States, allows you to browse by category for used books you may not even know exist. Browse my books there or check the whole site . Search by author, title, keyword, or category. It's amazing what you may discover. And you can place your credit card order there on a secure server.
Advanced Book Exchange: Has some interesting articles and hints on books and book buying. But beware of the ABE.COmmerce program. It's much more expensive than buying direct from the dealers, most of whom can also process your credit cards with no extra charges. Contact the dealers directly for the best deal.

We're in the Pacific Time Zone
Our normal office hours when we answer the phone are 10: 30 AM - 4 PM Monday - Friday.
We answer email and ship at other times, but normally take Sundays off.
 

We prefer you ask your questions about products and availability by e-mail, since that gives us more time to prepare a thoughtful answer and keeps us from playing phone tag. Please remember to put our email address in your address book if you have a spam filter or you won't ever get your answer unless you also leave a phone number. We cannot usually tell you immediately over the phone if a book is here. We have to walk two blocks to check the warehouse, so I usually have to call you back or email you anyway.  We do check our e-mail frequently throughout the day when we are at home. If we should be out, and you leave a message on our answering machine, we sometimes cannot hear the phone number clearly to return your call. Those are some reasons why we recommend you email us first. If you want us to call you, please leave your phone number and time zone.
When you do email us, please do not leave the subject blank or just say "Hi" or "Hello" as the subject. We delete those before opening because a lot of spam messages look like that. 
We have supplied a subject line in the link provided above that will guarantee your mail will be opened fast.
Or call (800)925-8587 (not before 10 AM or after 10 PM Pacific Time)
