Locations to Purchase Books · Other Products to Order You can order by check or credit card. In either case, please email me at bobpalmatier@yahoo.com. This will enable me to give you the best price for items, tax, and shipping. I will attempt to answer your email within 24 hours. Saving you money on shipping: For instance, my (and your) cost to ship one book by book rate (3-5 days anywhere in the US) is $4. But 2 books is not necessarily $8: when I send 2 books in one bubbled envelope, the price is about $6. Likewise if you order a combination of books, cards, and prints. When I receive your email, I’ll calculate the best way to ship the items at the lowest cost to you. Local Orders: If you are local to the Triangle area, I can likely save you shipping by arranging for a drop or delivery location convenient to the both of us. Using a debit or credit card: I now have a credit card machine, so if you would like to use a debit card or a credit card, please include the telephone number(s) you would most like me to use as I call to get your credit card information. Debit cards can be used securely over the phone without your PIN number by running them in the credit function.
