Bookseller Terms of Sale

$6.00 for "Media Mail" and 9.50 for Priority Mail !!!Please be advised that if you use "Media Mail" there is a very good chance that your package will be opened and inspected by the Post Office. A vigorous campaign has been initiated by the PO to ferret out fraudulent use of "media mail" and, of course, the professional bookseller who follows the rules as set forth by the PO, has to suffer as a result. The integrity of our packages and possibly the condition of the purchased book, our relationships with our customers, and the privacy of the transaction are compromised when a package is knifed into. If you do not want the real possibility of the PO tampering with your purchase I would advise using "Priority" mail to avoid this wrongheaded and intrusive practice!!!
