Out-of-Print Searching One of our services is offering assistance to find a book that is no longer available from the publisher and is considered "out of print".
This service has NO CHARGE other than the purchase and shipping charges, if any. Once we have complete information we begin to search. Once a requested item is found, you are contacted and can agree or decline further action - meaning to buy or not to buy. There is NO OBLIGATION to buy a book just because we have found it.
Or, how to get new books without going into the big city. In addition to looking for out of print books, we can also do the opposite and order brand, spanking new books.
This service has NO CHARGE other than the purchase and shipping charges, if any. Once we have complete information we can place the order.
There are two types of new book orders - Special & Ordinary
Special ones are for the non-mainstream type of books - titles like "Impressive String Art Made with Items Found at the Beach". Books like that may have to be ordered directly from the publisher. Due to this type of transaction, we often have to add a service charge, but not a big one.
Ordinary orders are those for new books that are popular and readily available at several locations. These are sold at the cover price plus actual shipping charges. Some new books are available with a 15% discount if they are readily available.
A few things to keep in mind when making a request:
- Books that are actively searched for cannot be purchased with trade credit.
- If you are asking several bookstores to search, please let us know
- If this is needed in a hurry, please tell us
- If you just want us to keep an eye out for new arrivals that match your interests, that is not considered an active search and trade credit can be used for those purchases.
- Please let us know if you have found the book elsewhere so we don't spend time looking for it.
Please call or email us with this information about the book:
- Title
- Author
- Publisher & Date of publication
- Edition - if you want a specific one like a1st or limited
- Format - hardcover, softcover or either
- Price limit
- Your information: Name, Address, Phone, Email
If you only have the title and not the author or publisher, we can work with that, although it may take longer to find your title.
Keep in mind that books that rare or specialized may take quite some time, but we will continue to look until you cancel the order.
