Paperback books
Paperback books are not currently available through our store. When they are, here is how they will ship:

Our paperbacks are printed on demand, which means each copy is printed especially for you after you order.

  • Printing: usually 3 to 5 business days (Monday through Friday, not counting holidays). Orders placed on a weekend begin printing the next business day.
  • Shipping cost: shipping is paid by you and is calculated at checkout, based on your location and the shipping method you choose.
  • Delivery time: depends on your location and the shipping method you choose. Shipping times are estimates and are not guaranteed.
  • Busy seasons: printing and shipping may take longer around the holidays.
  • Changes and cancellations: once your book goes to print, the order cannot be changed or canceled.
  • P.O. boxes and military addresses: some shipping methods cannot deliver to these. If you are shipping to one, please choose standard mail at checkout.

Once your paperback ships, you will receive a tracking number by email when tracking is available.
