Update on reduced prices and quantities
Here are further reductions in quantities and prices of each title still in stock. Many of these titles are now well below the half-price mark. Buy them now to be safe, or take your chances as time goes on!
The Canada Post general strike
The Canada Post strike continues. Based upon past actions of this nature, it will not last long. Regardless, I'll continue to ship books and calendars by alternative means.
If you had ordered something a couple of weeks ago and not received it, it's in the Canada Post system. It's not moving, but in a secure location. As soon as packages start moving again, it will be on its way to you.
Until the strike ends, any new orders will be forwarded by either Purolator or UPS. If you are in Canada, a flat rate shipping will apply, so make sure you order at least $60 or $70 worth of books (because anything under that doesn't justify your outlay). If you are in the United States, your shipping charges remain roughly the same, so have at it, on any order, large or small.
The Steam Through Port Credit inventory is down to the final half dozen copies, and Speed Graphics and Steam 1958! vol. 2 is the next scarcest at 15 remaining copies.
Ordering alternatives aside from PayPal
As usual, for any Canadian readers wishing to remit funds by Interact e-transfer, kindly use the weekly posted prices as a worksheet and contact me (by email) for a shipping quote. Then we’ll generate a total for monies owed (with GST) and you can remit the funds while I package your publications for shipment.
For those readers wishing to remit funds by cheque/check, kindly contact me by email, indicating the titles you wish to receive, and I will set them aside pending arrival of your payment in the mail (don't send anything until the Canada Post strike ends).
This week’s prices and stocks remaining
These are the prices for all remaining publications, which are reduced from regular prices of the recent past. There will be five more price reductions, on a weekly basis, until Sunday, December 29, 2024. Below follows this week’s roster of prices and quantities remaining. Each of the publication titles is a clickable link, so for your convenience click on that link to go immediately to the page where you may place your order with a PayPal button:
