Ordinarily, if you place an order on the internet, it may take 7-10 days to get the book shipped. If you wish faster service, please request it and you will get it. The fastest way to get an order shipped, as a first time customer, is to use a credit card over the telephone. Then the invoice is printed during the phone call. Faxed orders are the slowest and there is always a long line of email credit card orders waiting for invoicing.
Orders paid by check are welcome but obviously slower.
I am notoriously trusting and will ship or drop ship for other dealers, prior to payment if I am asked. I also ship to my previous customers prior to payment.
