Prices and delivery
What a copy costs,
and when it lands.
You order the books and they are posted to you. The two tables on this page are the whole of it: what a copy costs at each quantity, and how long each destination takes.
The object
A digest paperback,
built to be read twice.
One trim across the whole series, so the shelf lines up. Cream stock rather than bright white, because these are books people read for three hours at a stretch. Black ink throughout; the covers are the only colour in the series and they are the only place it is needed.
| Trim | 5.5 × 8.5 in / 140 × 216 mm |
|---|---|
| Binding | Perfect-bound paperback, matte laminate |
| Paper | 60# uncoated cream, black ink |
| Extent | 122 to 134 pages |
The ladder
The price falls
as the order grows.
Not a loyalty scheme. An order costs about the same to handle and post whether it holds one book or thirty-one, and the ladder passes that back.
The bottom rung is the whole chronology: all thirty-one for $199.00, with the ebook and the audiobook of every volume included. Bought one at a time in the three formats, the same books are $650.07.
| 1 or 2 copies | $12.99 |
| 3 to 6 copies | $11.99 |
| 7 to 15 copies | $10.99 |
| 16 to 30 copies | $9.99 |
| The complete chronology, all thirty-one with every ebook and audiobook | $199.00 ($6.42 a volume) |

If something is wrong with it
Damaged, misbound or short-shipped
Tell us within thirty days and a replacement is sent at no charge. Send a photograph of the fault if you can; you do not need to return the book, because posting a misbound copy back across an ocean costs more than replacing it.
If you changed your mind
Cancellations and returns
An order can be cancelled in full within a few hours of placing it, while it is still with us. After that it is already being made up for you and cannot be called back. UK and EU customers keep their statutory rights either way.
Ebooks are not returnable once the download link has been opened.
