Ordering books

Use of these buttons will take you to a shopping cart on PayPal’s secure website, where you will be able to specify quantities and confirm details before buying. It is not necessary to have an account with PayPal. Your credit−card number or other financial data will never be known to Ragged Banner Press.

A shipping charge will be calculated based on the weight of your order, and customers in New York State will pay sales tax.

Overseas customers: In the years since this website was started, the cost of mailing a book from the US has tripled. For shipments to Europe, I now use first-class package international service, which costs $25 up to 4 lbs. That means you can order two copies of Such Is This World or three copies of Hard Road Home for the same shipping cost as one book. The PayPal calculator may not reflect this; if you are overcharged for shipping at checkout, I will refund the difference.

Please read about our eBooks before ordering one.

eBooks will be sent via e-mail within 24 hours: to buy one, you will need an e-mail account that can receive messages with large attachments (around 3 MB).

For large or wholesale orders, payment by check or money order, or special arrangements, do not use the PayPal cart but send an email with details to
