HOW TO ORDER


Mail order only. Please e-mail to hold book before sending check. Orders
held for payment for 10 days. If you change your mind, please let me know.
Conditions of books vary. I attempt to honestly describe books to the best
of my ability. Please e-mail me for more detailed descriptions of books.
Full refund (for any fault on my part) on books returned in 'as shipped'
condition. All hardback unless noted otherwise. All prices and payments in
US$ please. Make checks payable to 'Jack McNatt' (No Second Party Checks
Accepted). Postage is included in prices quoted (U.S. Only). Books shipped
at book rate, which can take up to two weeks. Other mailing arrangements
upon request and at buyers expense.

Please note: I sell books that are primarily of interest (with some
exceptions) to genealogical researchers. I seek out books for their content
more than their condition. Some books are rare and hard to come by in any
condition. If you are looking for a book to look pretty on a shelf, please
ask me for a detailed description. If there is an index I will gladly do
lookups for names you are interested in. Some older books have very poor
indexes, which do not include every name in the book. When making queries
please be as descriptive as possible. Looking for the name Smith in a 1,000
page book can yield lots of occurrences and needs first names, spousal
names, parents and children's names etc.
