All sales of paperbacks, hardbacks, and journals are final.

Shipping Info
For special editions, the estimated shipping lead time is included in the item description (usually 12-14 weeks, depending on the printer, customs, and shipping to me). Orders that include a combination of in-stock and special edition items will ship when all items are in stock. Items that are in stock will ship in 5-10 business days.
Shipping to the US includes DDP (Direct Duties Paid) which means all duties are covered and included in your shipping cost. However, countries outside of Canada may charge taxes, which are the responsibility of the purchaser.
