- REFERENCE LITERATURE ON CD-ROM

Most of these books are regular stock items, but some are available in limited quantities. As an example, the total printing of my Illinois Post Offices book was 418 copies. More than two-thirds of those have been sold since it was published in February, 1996, and I do not plan to reprint it. Such limited-edition titles are often difficult to obtain once the original printing is sold out.

PUBLISHERS: If you have any reference literature that you would like to make available through this page, please email mehrer@postal-history.com , call or write to discuss terms.

We accept payment by check or money order in U.S. funds.

Before the price of each item is a 6-digit item number. When ordering, please indicate the item number and a few words from the title.

To place orders by regular mail, send your check or money order (in U.S. funds) payable to:
Jim Mehrer
2405-30th Street

USA

ALL BOOKS ARE PRICED POSTPAID to U.S. addresses.

ILLINOIS RESIDENTS: Add 8.5% state sales tax to your order.

INTERNATIONAL ORDERS: Before ordering, please email us for the shipping charge.

We do not accept CHARGE CARDS, and HERE'S WHY: Card companies would take about 5 percent off the top of whatever we sold. We don't feel like giving it to them, and we would rather not raise all of our prices just for the sake of handling charge cards. (Before you write and tell us that we can negotiate a better deal than 5 percent, we know that. But whether it's 3 or 4 or 5 percent, we still don't feel like raising the prices to "cover" it, as they say.) We were accepting payments through an online payment service for awhile, but then they started charging for their services, too. Maybe things will change someday.

We regret that we're unable to send "bill with" orders, but that just adds to the paperwork, and we've got plenty to do without the extra load. Exceptions: If you're a long-time customer of ours, and you're experiencing some kind of major "reference literature emergency" that won't allow you to wait a couple of extra days, give us a phone call (309 / 786-6539) and we'll discuss the possibilities.
