Boston,

Could I reserve that last copy of the 2009 edition of "You and The Police"?

Also, two copies of the 2009 edition of "Boston's Gun Bible"?

Wait!

Is One Nation, Under Surveillance a revised version of Bulletproof Privacy? If so, I won't need the 2 BP's.

Thank you!

Yes, it's the fully updated version of BP.
BP is really now just a collector's copy.

First customer there at the Jam should start a "Scuffed Book" reservation sheet,
tack it onto the tree nearest the group kitchen, and I'll refer to that.

Okay, thanks. Yes, a reservation sheet makes sense for this. Will do if it's not already posted.

Hello!

After the Jam I still have a few scuffed books left.
This is our summer sale of them; the next sale being probably in spring 2013.
Here are the terms/availability:

These are all/exactly what I have.  Please don't PM with queries about others.
(I.e., I have no scuffed 2012 Hologram, hardcover Molôn, Guns & Courage, etc.)

Orders are fulfilled on a first-come/first-served basis.
Prices are roughly 75% off retail.

There is no cherry-picking; I stuff your order from the stack
without discrimination.  Conditions are Fair-Good, unless otherwise noted.

No signed copies, unless otherwise noted.

Orders are sold only by medium-sized Priority Mail box, and each
title's % box volume is shown below.  Mix titles as you please to fill your box.
(For example, 10ML + 4Y&P fit perfectly.)

Calculate your order by heaviest books first, then fill in the last
remaining space with You & The Police!  (Fill to 95% minimum, and 102% maximum!)

FSWers may post that their order that is enroute that day, and I will adjust online inventory accordingly.
(non-FSWers' orders are recognized only upon receipt, and cannot reserve stock through a forum post.) 

Total up, add $12.00 for Priority Mail flat rate medium box, send cash (no checks!) amount with your address to:

Javelin Press
P.O. Box 4241
Gillette, Wyo. 82717

Please be patient as I am traveling much this summer, and will fulfill
orders during my brief windows of time at the office.  Allow 4-6 weeks
for delivery, although most fulfillment times will be about half that.

Thanks for your order!
Boston

Boston,

Do you still have the same quantity as in the Aug. 2012 post?  Thanks for the reply.  BTW I live in Northwest New Jersey (for a while longer) and I run into Judge Andrew Napolitano from time to time.  The last time I saw him, I just finished Molon Labe and I highly recommended it to him.  He claimed to have received copies from you, but haven't gotten around to reading them.  I strongly urged his to read ML.  He asked if it expressed our (small government, Libertarian) point of view.  I said most definitely.  I will surely follow up on his reading assignment when I see him next.

Regards,

Bob

Bob, thanks for the liaison with Napolitano.
He hasn't yet the 2012 edition of Hologram of Liberty,
but should have one (even if he has yet to read the original).

I'd be happy to supply him with a copy, as well as a
hardcover Molôn Labé!.  Please PM me his shipping address.

scuffed books:  Yes, I've still most of the August inventory, but
need several days before I can do a recount.

PM me what you'd like, as I probably have it still.

Regards,
Boston

Boston:

Sent you a PM book order request the other day.  Since I won't need the BP on that order, that brings the total down to $40.00 if you still have the others.  I will happily exchange cash,  USPS Money Order, or a case of sauce (see my website please).  Your choice.  Looking forward to meeting you at the Jam.

It seemed like a good idea at the time.

Monty, I probably have them all, but need until next week
to know for sure.  I'll PM you and then post what stock I have.

Cash only for these scuffed copies, btw.

Thanks,
Boston

Hey, I don't take no stinkin' money for my books -- beer only!
 ;D



Been delayed with other things, and still haven't
done an accounting.  But, it's on my A list to do. 

Will post here ASAP.

Thanks,
Boston

Here's a copy/paste from previous posts.
Just to remind everyone, I'm not selling these books in quantities less
than specified below:



Quote
Howdy all,

The publishing business often feels like "on consignment" when
dealing with the major wholesalers, and returns are common.
I cannot resell them as new, thus I will discount them to 20% of cover price.

Not by 20%, but to 20% of cover price.

Condition is generally very decent, with slight scuffs or bends.  (Some look nearly new!)
A few are more hurt, but that's uncommon.  All pages are intact, regardless.

Such books have been sold on eBay, regularly fetching 40-45% of retail.
Thus, you've a chance to double your $, or distribute them as gifts.

Terms:  cash with order.  No checks.  No M.O.s.

I am selling these by the medium Priority Mail box size (or full 35 lb. case) only. 
(A medium Priority Mail box will hold, for example, 6 BGB and 2 Y&P.)
No more onesy/twosy orders, sorry, as it's not worth the processing time.

(You can mix these titles per carton, such as half-and-half.)
For mixed titles within a medium Priority Mail box,
here is exactly what each book makes up in volume. 

BGB   0.1534  (i.e., 15.34%)
ML   0.0913
ONUS   0.0913
SD   0.0710
Y2K   0.0710
HoL   0.0621  (1997 edition)
Y&P   0.0318

The volume %s are exact.   
100.82% will fit, but just barely.  (105% would not.)
Everyone try to keep just at/under 100%, please.

Please calculate your order, and then add $15 for the S&H.
Send cash for total amount with a copy of your order to:

Javelin Press
P.O. Box 4241
Gillette, Wyo. 82717

I'm not selling any more copies of any scuffed books other than in
Priority Mail box or full case quantities.
 

A full case holds 2.4544x more books than the Priority Mail box.
Add $30 for UPS Ground.


I also have 27 new-in-shrinkwrap first edition (year 2000) Boston's Gun Bible.
This was the 720 page version, in which the FAL originally beat out the M1A.
They were never reprinted, as I replaced it with the 848 page version in 2002.
I'll make a nice deal to somebody for all of them; PM me with any interest, as I haven't priced these.

I still haven't gotten to recount these yet, as I've been swamped with other deadlines.
Can probably count them next week.  Thanks for your patience.
