Several financial and temporal parameters are rapidly crashing together, causing the autographed version of my newest book, Mysterious America: The Revised Edition (NY: Paraview, 2001) to take a jump in price after the first of the year.

These include - (1) an increase in the postal rates, and (2) my being told yesterday that because of the large size of the volume, the initial shipping charges from the publisher to me and any and all booksellers are being nearly doubled. (One of the unseen disadvantages, I guess, of writing a sizable tome, humm?)

However, because I have already committed to selling the book at the price quoted below, autographed and priority mailed to you, through the end of the year, I'll stick to that.

The list price is $16.95. I'm charging people $3.00 for shipping/handling to send it via priority mail (a $3.20 cost to me before 31 Dec 2000). Total due is thus $19.95, per book.

Therefore, if you wish to obtain an autographed copy or multiple autographed copies or a box of signed books for a later conference, which will ship to you within the next couple weeks, please send your check, cash, or money order, now to reach me by next week, for $19.95 per book, made out to "Loren Coleman" to:

Loren Coleman Books
PO Box 360
Portland, ME 04112 USA

I have to receive payment and ship before 31 December 2000.

Happy Holidays,
Loren Coleman
