Just as I did two years ago, I’m throwing my shelves open to sell books. (Why? Well, I have taxes due in a week, and I just got word that a check I was expecting is going to be delayed for a couple of weeks, which will make ugly little minus signs appear in my checking account. Gotta fix that.) I’ve dug deep into my storage boxes for this one, so some of the quantities are extremely limited, and some of the works on offer are rare and unlikely to be seen for sale again.
The rules: most items are cover price (rounded up because pennies make me sad), and I’ll offer them signed or unsigned, inscribed or uninscribed, as you prefer. Add $4 shipping per book for mass market/pocket-sized paperbacks (and weird small stuff like magazines and chapbooks), $6 for trade paperbacks and hardcovers in the US. Non-US people: add an extra $5 for shipping.
Comment here or send an e-mail to timpratt at gmail dot com with a list of what you want to buy, whether you want it signed or personalized, etc. I’ll confirm whether or not everything you want is still available, and also confirm the total price. Then you can paypal me (timpratt at gmail dot com). Do e-mail or comment before sending money, since I’m selling things first-come-first-served.

Buy early and tell your friends! The sale will run for a few days or until I run out of books, and I’ll ship things this weekend.
(I have to take the boy to a doctor’s appointment this morning, so if I don’t respond right away, fear not — I’ll be back soon.)
I’ll happily take the copy of Bone Shop off your hands (it’s the only Marla book I don’t have a print copy of, we got the Kindle version) and one of the Haiku books (I’m a sucker for unique items). Certainly wouldn’t mind i Bone Shop is signed and you can personalize the haiku as much as you’d like :).
Total on goods would be $15 + let me know what the shipping is (assuming the chapbook is smallish as is the book, but whatever covers your costs rounded up is fine)
Sure! Yeah, 12 Haiku is tiny, so call it $4 for shipping. (Or make it $5 if you want it priority mail instead.) $19 to timpratt@gmail.com, and I’ll send it this week.
I’d like to have the Marla Mason #1 Blood Engines in paperback.Thing is, i live in Europe (Cyprus) so i would appreciate it if you let me know what the shipping costs and how much the final price is.
Hi Drew! I’m charging $9 for shipping a mass-market overseas, so the total would be $16. Paypal to timpratt@gmail.com and I’ll put it in the mail this week. Want it signed/personalized?
sure,if you could sign it or personalize it to me would be great.i will send the money first thing tomorrow.Thanks!
is it too late to ask for a copy of Rangergirl to Italy?
Oh, technically, but I still have copies, so I’ll send it! Paypal $23 to timpratt@gmail.com. Let me know if you want it signed and personalized. Thanks!
