Shipping – Shipping on book orders is $5.00 per order for media rate, or $12.00 for Priority (your choice), exceptfor very small books, which can go first class – insurance included ($15.00 to Canada up to 1 kg, $26 up to 2 kg, $36 uo to 4 kg, $56 over 4 kg) - call or write for more exact quotes. See below for outside North America.  Your quantity discount will be in the shipping – buy several books and we pay anything over the selected rate.  For orders over $500 shipping is free within North America.  To avoid delay please order by stock number, when shown.

International Shipping (outside of North America) – Advantageous shipping rates can often be found in the use of USPS "Flat Rate" boxes - especially for orders of several thin books.  Their "Medium Flat Rate" box can accomodate about 85mm thickness of standard-sized books, which currently costs $43.23 to almost anywhere.  Their "Large Flat Rate" box accomodates up to 135mm of thickness, and ships for $55.58.  In either case, the maximum weight limit is 20 lbs (about 10kg).  Please feel free to write for quotes on shipping individual books, or calculating what will fit in "Flat Rate" boxes.  For orders over $500 shipping is 50% actual cost worldwide.  The free books are still just as free, but can effect the cost of shipping.

We are located in Santa Rosa, California  Anyone near to here or passing through would be welcomed to pick up their books and other items (by appointment) so as to save the shipping charge.  Unfortunately, we have no showroom.

Our Customer Comments

Visa and M/C, as well as checks and money orders, accepted.              payment mailing address

                                                                                                                     


Packing – We pack for success, not excuses.  Your books will be wrapped in paper, and boxed for damage-free transit.

Our success is customers getting books they want, and only that.  Therefore, all sales are allowed a three day inspection period, within which time, unsatisfactory items may be returned for refund.

Collections Bought   We are always buying (at wholesale prices) – from whole collections to single books.

Sales Tax / Ca. only – Orders shipped to California addresses must pay applicable sales tax.

"Free Books" – Limit one per paid order.

Gift Wrap – For an extra $7.00 per gift, we will gift wrap any item(s) and mail it directly to the recipient.  Nothing too fancy, but we will box the item(s) and tailor the wrap to the occasion (birthday, Christmas or other), with a "from / to" tag filled out as you specify.

Wants lists – We have railroad books - you want railroad books, but unfortunately, these are not always the same items.  If you would care to send us your "want list", we will store it and notify you (e-mail or phone, your choice) if we get that item in stock.  There is no obligation on your part - this is only a notification service and interest survey.  Send to: Wants lists

All items first come, first served – if you like it, you can own it.  No false-hope teaser prices, no bidding stress, no sniping – everything is "Buy It Now" priced.  Prices subject to change without notice.

Questions and comments welcomed.
