Our out-of-print search is not edition-specific

[samiaseo222]

Make every effort to actually obtain the much desired book once the customer confirms that he will in fact buy the item when Amazon tracks down an available copy. As soon as the title is found and the customer formally guarantees purchase at the quoted price, Amazon will actually proceed in buying the book and delivering it promptly to the paying customer. "...we never charge you until the time of shipment, so you will pay nothing unless you approve the price and we ship the book--typically 2-3 weeks after approval." Amazon emphasizes that they focus on finding the requested title by a specific author, and not on a specific binding or edition. "

If you are interested in a paperback edition, and we are only able to locate a hardcover edition, we will give you the option of making the hardcover purchase. Our goal is to find the most reasonably priced phone number list copy of that title on the market. Multivolume sets are difficult to find. If you are unsure whether a price we've quoted is for a complete or partial set, please respond to the price quote with an inquiry." The process of finding and obtaining an out-of-print book can be "time-consuming, and handing over your credit card to unfamiliar booksellers a bit daunting, but Amazon.com makes it as easy and safe as ordering any other book." Keep in mind that the purpose of all this Gordon Press business is not to make money, but simply to gather information on people attempting to obtain "dangerous" books.

They go on to add: "Please use a credit card for orders containing out-of-print books. We have found that the out-of-print market is too volatile to allow for the extra time required to process a check payment. Our buyers contact a vast network of suppliers to find the least expensive copy in good condition on the market at that time. You'll receive an update on the search within two weeks--either a price quote or a notice that we haven't had any luck but will keep your request on order until you choose to cancel. We will notify you by e-mail to get your approval of the price.
