Paypal enables you to use your credit card, and so far, it’s the only way we can offer that option. If you don’t want to use paypal, or if you’d rather pay by check, just choose “Offline Payment” as your payment option. Add items to the cart, follow the checkout procedure and send your check or postal money order to the address provided. Please note that we can’t take anything but US currency, either through Paypal, POSTAL money orders, or checks drawn on a US bank — anything else costs us a ridiculous amount in bank fees. If you’re ordering from outside the US, your cheapest option may be to go through your local bookseller, Amazon, or Chelsea Green’s international affiliates. We fill orders as we receive payment, so the mail does take a bit longer (we LOVE the US postal service, especially Lori, Nan, Andy, Dave, and Angie!)
If you’d rather trade or barter, please use the contact form and we’ll direct it to the right person. We like barter!
