We cannot ship books without full payment.
While we run our bookstore exclusively online from our home, we occasionally allow local customers to visit—BY APPOINTMENT ONLY—to pick up books they've ordered so they can save themselves shipping costs. In such cases, cash—in the exact amount charged—is accepted as payment. We will also, in such cases, accept checks or money orders if the total amount due is less than $50.00.
At our discretion, shipments paid for via check or money order in amounts of $50.00 and over will be held until the check or money order fully clears our bank. This may take up to one (1) business week.
We are happy to ship to any address other than the customer's if, for example, the book is a gift.
Once we receive confirmation of an order, we will put books on hold for:
Private individuals – seven (7) calendar days
Libraries – four (4) calendar weeks
Booksellers – two (2) calendar weeks.
When requested by customers to search for books, we charge a finder's fee of 25% of the total order.
* * * IMPORTANT NOTICE * * *
The United States Congress passed legislation in August 2008 against merchants and libraries selling or lending children's books published BEFORE 1985 because of POSSIBLE lead content in the inks used to print the books.
Therefore, Treasure Island Books is selling such books as COLLECTOR'S ITEMS ONLY FOR ADULT USE ONLY.
It is the BUYER'S responsibility to supervise the use of such books around children, and Treasure Island Books assumes no legal responsibility thereof.
