How to Get Signed Books

You can safely use Karin's web store to buy signed books. All paperbacks ordered will be signed. If you want the book personalized, be sure to leave instructions in the message box at check-out. IF YOU DO NOT WANT IT SIGNED AT ALL, you must say so.

Or, after purchase, reply to your order confirmation email with your instructions.

Our paperbacks have been stored in dry, smoke-free conditions. Some are very limited editions.

Please provide enough information so the books can be signed appropriately. If you say the book is for a friend, for example, Karin is likely to write, "Friends who give books are keepers," or something close to that. Birthdays, anniversaries, gift for the clueless friend, or a treat for yourself? Explain and the signature will be personalized for that. Or, if you simply want a signature leave the instruction box blank.

Please see our signing, shipping, and web store policies.
We will never sell or give away your email or contact information. End of story. Your personal information will be used only to ship orders or send you information that you requested. Karin and trusted helpers are the only people who will ever see your email address or contact information.

Transparency

We do not participate in the industry practice of sending multiple followup emails asking for your review or to fill out a satisfaction survey. (Reviews are, of course, most appreciated, but we're not going to hound you!) Once the transaction is complete, it's complete. You will only receive further email if you opt-in to our mailing list or there is a problem with fulfilling your order - with one exception. If you are a first time customer, you will receive a single "Welcome" email after your first purchase asking you to join the mailing list. If you do nothing, you won't be added. Subsequent orders will not trigger any additional marketing emails. Every newsletter mailing has an obvious unsubscribe link.

Data is retained only to allow us to help you with your order or a future order, if needed. See above: We will never sell of give away your email or contact information. Requests to delete your data will be promptly honored.

Software used for this site and web store are industry standard with payment services and security provided by Stripe. Our store is PayPal Verified. AI is deployed by these services to detect fraud and spam. Payment information is not stored at this site or accessible to anyone at this site.

Please Provide a Valid Email

We completely understand using throwaway email addresses for one-time purchases. The followup marketing is ferocious and intrusive. However, for the reasons and policies we've given above, we feel it is reasonable and safe for you to provide a valid email to us. That's the only way you will receive a record of your purchase and a durable link to get to your downloads again, should you need to. Whenever you use those credentials to log in again the site will load more quickly and speed up your checkout.
