Sorry for any hassle ordering books. When we get rich and powerful we will add shopping baskets, credit card acceptance and all that other stuff we all love online. Right now we are poor so please buy that book so we can afford all the bells, whistles and toys!!!
MAJOR NOTE PLEASE READ THIS!!!! Some the books we stock are hard for us to find and keep in stock. We handle these when we can find them because they are important books. This means we may not have the book/s you order and may not get any new ones anytime soon. You can email me to see if I have it before you order. We cash checks after we ship, not before, so if your order is backordered we simply hold the check.
I am leaving many out of stock and out of print books up so people can see source materials they might be able to find elsewhere. If it is marked "OUT OF STOCK" it means we really can't find any copies anywhere and may not have any for months. Sorry for the hassle, but many of these books are hard to get.
