Click on the cover of a particular item, to find out more details. Please read the PDF Rationale below, and the Policies at the bottom of this page before ordering.
PDF RATIONALE: Each order automatically includes the standard $4.50 postage charge when you check out. Why is this, if you are only buying PDF items that are emailed and require no postage? First, we have taken this fact into consideration, and offer lower purchase prices for each individual item to fully offset this. For instance, if you order one item for $9.00, we priced it at $9.00 and not $13.50 (and zero postage). Second, this allows for a built in discount if ordering more than one PDF. By charging $4.50 per order (instead of adding $4.50 to the cost of each individual item), it encourages you to save by buying more than one item at a time. (Example: If you order three $9.00 items, the combined price ($9 + $9 + $9 + 4.50) comes to $31.50--a savings of $9.00 had you ordered three items at $13.50 each (and zero postage).) Bottom line: This is a reasonable policy that works in your favor by allowing volume discounts; the more items you order at one time, the better your bargain.
Book format games are listed on the ORDERING page.
