I've posted a few times about getting signed copies out there to friends and family. Many have expressed interest, but I've been waiting on two things - getting enough copies on hand and also getting exact shipping rates and actually completing the process of shipping.
When I first posted - I said the price for a shipped copy would be 15 dollars. That took into account First Class Mail. However, I paid for the book to be mailed to me first class - and sad to say, the corners did get bent a little. Now, that doesn't mean the book was 'destroyed' in any way or unreadable. The damage WAS minor, but I'm a book reader that likes the book to be in perfect condition when I receive it, hence the whole 'new' thing.
All that said - shipping one book via first class mail IS still available. I will not be able to offer any sort of guarantee of condition and if it's bent a little, that will have to be 'okay'.
However, there is a better way. The post office offers flat-rate Priority mail shipping for under 6 dollars. Now, yes, that adds a few dollars shipping to the cost. But- there are a few positives here.
1) - if you ship Priority mail - you'll get the book more quickly (2-3 business days) - the book will be guaranteed (Post Office guarantees up to 50 dollars and the book costs far less than that) - and you can also track the shipment. All in all - I'd say it's worth the extra 2.5 dollars. Also - the flat rate box can fit TWO books. So, this will allow me the following deal to be made.
It will be 18 dollars to ship one copy priority flat rate, but will only be 30 to ship 2 copies. It's a much better deal to buy two copies.
I hope this clears the options up. The *Special Edition* prices don't change. It's 25 dollars to have a signed copy with a short story hand written in the blank pages in the back and 50 dollars to have an original story story - one of a kind offer.
So, how do you pay me? I'm accepting payments via PayPal and of course cash. No, you do NOT need a PayPal account to pay via this method. E-mail me and I'll send you an invoice you can pay with whatever credit card of your choice.
This is the time to get in touch with me so I can have all the addresses ready for when the books arrive. It will be approximately one week until I receive the next batch of books. Get your copy!!!
