PayPal. Just click on the button. Shipping by Priority Mail with
delivery confirmation is $4.60. Click on the button to order with PayPal. This
is a secure transaction with encrypted HTML. We only accept PayPal. Why? We can
print a mailing label with postage from PayPal with a couple of clicks, and get
your book in the mail much sooner, without driving to the post office. And
every shipment has delivery confirmation included, so we can track your book
without charging you 65 cents more for confirmation. Another reason to use
PayPal is that we receive payment from PayPal without ever seeing your financial
information. This means that you only give your credit card number once to
PayPal, and use only your email address to pay online. It is a bit of a hassle
to set up, but if you don't have a PayPal account, you should get one.
