First, let me explain that this is NOT a business! If I were doing this to make money then I would either starve or have to raise the price of the books - a lot! You must understand this before ordering. I am a home schooling mom, run my own web design/hosting business, as well as help my husband with his two companies which are both run out of the house. We stay very busy, and we are not rich. Orders can take some time to process. Yes, up to 2 months even. It is terribly time consuming to try and answer lots of emails regarding books and orders, so I've tried to put everything here to avoid that. Please please please, if you need the books immediately, I suggest you contact me by phone first to see if I can work on the books you need immediately. Working just on the books alone, without doing anything else at all, I could produce about one average order in about a week. This means that if you order 40 books (yes, I've had orders that big) that it is going to take a while - because due to laundry, cooking, teaching, and working, I can not devote all my time only to the making of the books! I have found that even I need at least 4 to 5 hours of sleep a night, and after a while of that I need more. If your order happens to fall after an order of 40, then yours will take even longer. I apologize for any inconvenience that this causes, but I am trying to be as fair, and as quick, as I can in processing these book orders.
PLEASE NOTE: Due to the change in how paypal.com processes and charges transactions, and due to other prices that are fluxtuating, there will now be an 8% fee added to all orders for handling to cover these and other expenses I incur in processing the orders. I have waited as long as possible to do this but can no longer pay these fees out of pocket.
I ship only once per week. All orders processed and ready to ship will be mailed on Fridays through the United States Postal Service.
New books are printed after they have been paid for! This means that there will be some time between ordering and shipping, as the books have to be printed, cut, bound, packaged, and then shipped. There are no refunds on the books I make for you. I have been doing this for years now, and all books are made the same. They have withstood the test of many children reading and rereading and they hold up well. I print them here at home, bind them here at home. This isn't anything fancy, but I do produce a nice clean book that will hold up through many children just as well as other paperback books you can purchase. If there is a problem with a book please contact me and I will work with you to correct the situation (missing page, etc.).
All books are printed on half page, final book size 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, bound as a book with a heavy card stock cover of no less than 65lb.. Colors of covers vary.
All of the books that I print are free domain, and no copyrights have been violated. There are various formats for the books, but whenever possible I have tried to keep them as close to the original book as possible. If I can include images of pictures or drawings from the originals I will do so. In some cases they just don't scan well and I will not include those, or they simply require so much ink that it makes it uneconomical.
I can take payments through paypal , money orders, or personal checks (with wait to clear). I hope this answers all of your questions! Happy reading :).
