We will ship as soon as we receive your personal check or money order; or you can pay via PayPal <http://www.PayPal.com> if you prefer. Missouri customers must add 8.350% sales tax. Our address information--including our web site where many more books and other materials can be found--is listed below.

If you are not receiving this weekly "reverse auction" directly, but would like to do so, just drop us a note in that regard and we will take care of it.

Thanks for your interest!
