Shipping & Returns


Paperback and hardback books ordered from us should reach you within seven to ten days from when your order is received in our office. Cover Craft® or Turtleback books ordered from us should reach you within 30 days from when your order is received. Orders requiring library processing may take slightly longer in order to meet your specifications and ensure accuracy.

Out-of-stock titles will be backordered automatically. Backorders that cannot be filled in 60 days will be canceled unless you instruct otherwise. To use all of your available funds, we recommend you send a list of alternative titles we can use to replace any out-of-print or temporarily unavailable titles. Your packing slip will indicate which titles have been put on backorder. Your invoice will indicate which titles have been canceled.
