On Oct 7 2014, a reader said:
I thought it would be a happy-go-lucky book about way back when, but I was surprised by how many dark topics, like murder and death are in it.

Priority mail is $15.00 within the continental U.S. for books that are thick or larger than 8vo (novel sized). If your book is a small novel size, we may be able to fit it in a priority envelope with packing which would cost $6.00. If this is the case go ahead and choose priority shipping and we will adjust the amount before it is charged to your card ($4.00 less). Books over $20 in value will have delivery confirmation which allows tracking, included in the postage price. Postage for oversized and/or heavy books over 2.0 lbs. may have an additional charge and will be quoted when the order is received. Insurance, if desired, is extra. INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: Since all surface economy mail has been discontinued there are 3 airmail options to other countries, all depending on size of the book and weight.

Shipping options are as follows: Priority Mail International envelope taking 6-10 days - for small novel sized books only (less than 1" thick or smaller). Rates to Canada are $24.00. [If you are sure your book is small and less than 4 lbs. packed and will fit in the international airmail envelope you can go ahead and order, and we will adjust and lower the postage before being charged to your card.] Priority Mail International (in a box) taking 6-10 days - For novel sized books and small 4to books only.
