Order by 1:00 P.M. (Central Time)... We'll send a confirming e-mail, and normally ship the same day!

We're best known for two things... The way we pack (very carefully); and the way we ship (very quickly).

We take book safety seriously... Your books will be shrink-wrapped on a heavy piece of cardboard, and placed in a heavy-duty box or a padded mailing bag (depending on the size of your order). We also pack around the books with plenty of clean paper to keep the books from moving. And, when the order is ready to ship, we'll stamp the box with our traditional red "HANDLE WITH ENTHUSIASM" stamp.

Our customers tell us... That we are pretty good at what we do. And we ought to be! We've been dispatching books to all corners of the U.S. since 1978. We're one of those old-fashioned companies with real toll-free telephones—and real people to answer them. It will not be an accident that your books will arrive in perfect condition. We make sure they will.

Standard Shipping... 3.95 for orders under 50.00; free shipping for any order over 50.00 (including Purchase Orders).

Expedited Shipping... 6.95 for one book; 9.95 for two or more books. We normally use Priority Mail (First Class) for home addresses; UPS for school or business addresses.

Tracking information... We pay an extra fee to the U.S. Postal Service and UPS so we can monitor each package we ship. If you would like that tracking information also sent to you, just let us know.

Can't find what you're looking for?
Just send us an e-mail (paperbacks@usmo.com), or call (800-227-2591). We'll give you pricing information, and availability. If we don't have a particular book in stock, or can't get it to you rather quickly, we'll help find a source.
