The Sea Gull
Answers to Questions Before Ordering
June 12, 2009 - All books now sold are Second Editions. This is a revised edition with Library of Congress Control number. Also The Sea Gull is listed on WorldCat.
NOTE ABOUT ORDERING: After each PayPal order I receive, I will send an email back that asks to confirm your mailing address and email address. I will not send an order out until the mailing address is confirmed and the payment paid. If I have not had your address CONFIRMED for the current shipping times, your order will be placed on hold until it is confirmed. This protects you and us, in making sure the order is correct.
Also, after I confirmed your order has been sent, please watch your mail. This book will not fit in small mailboxes, so a card maybe left to pick-up your item. Any books sent back to us will require payment for re-shipping.
For now, posters are only being sold in the USA. I have completed a series of overseas test orders and all the posters arrived. I will look into returning posters back to the other carts, after a few more test.
• Who is publishing The Sea Gull?
Leading Ladies is a partnership between Lita and Ellie Hill and Linda Wada. We are publishing The Sea Gull. This is our first book. The Sea Gull was professionally designed by Wesley Wada.
• Is there a hardbound version?
No, only paperback.
• Shipping cost?
Shipping is expensive these days, due to increasing fuel costs.
The shipping and handling charge for the book order covers Leading Ladies costs: shipping from the printer to us, book inspection and packaging materials, delivery to the post office, and the actual shipping charge from the Post Office.
Due to weight and size limits, all shipping for books are set up for a limit of two books per order. The second shipping appears at a discounted rate. (see listing for second book price)
On the ednapurviance.com site, the shipping areas and charges are separated geographically. For example, the USA page lists the amounts for shipments within the U.S. There are separate ordering pages for Canada, Mexico and the World.
We have tried to keep the price of the book as low as possible, especially considering that it is a 132-page, 8-1/2”x11”, FULL COLOR publication, printed on quality 80# paper stock.
A color book about the silent film period is rare, but we decided to do this book in full color, because of the unique images we can share. Each book costs Leading Ladies over $41 to sell. (The retail price of the book will be $49 USD.)
All products are shipped on Friday. (No shipments on weekends or on USA holidays.)
• Can I order more than one book?
Order limit is TWO books per order. The shopping cart is set up to add the second discounted book shipping. Leading Ladies will not be doing any bulk orders at this time.
• Where can I get The Sea Gull?
Our ednapurviance.com site will be the sole source for the book. To sell through retail outlets would have increased the book cover price by $24. We decided to not do the retail market at this time.
• Payment options?
We chose to use PayPal (an eBay company.) A PayPal account is convenient, but not necessary, as you can pay through PayPal using a credit card, and it takes about 1-5 days for the payments to clear.
You can purchase your book through PayPal with your PayPal account or credit card. Leading Ladies will not be taking personal checks or money orders.
When using PayPal, use the VIEW CART button to make sure what is currently in your cart. And make sure you have the correct number of books in the shopping cart. (Limit is two books per order.)
NOTE: Please make sure your address is current on your PayPal account. It does help in the paperwork. If you notice it was not current after paying, please send us your new address. All addresses are kept private. Leading Ladies will not share any of your information.
The reviewers have been very impressed with our book. We are just doing everything possible to ensure that each one of you has the same experience.
