A word about buying my books directly from me...
- While I would love to sign a book and have you purchase it from this page, if all you want is a book and having an autographed copy does not matter, then it would be best for you to buy the book through an online seller such as Amazon.com or Barnes and Noble or obtain a copy of the book through your local bookstore. Doing so would save you money. Because of the large book sellers' ability to purchase in quantity, they can beat my price and thus provide you with a better deal. If you do want to have a signed book, then please look through this page, choose what you want and let me know via email at ace@acecollins.com how you would like me to sign it. The price you see listed for each book includes mailing at the media rate. If you need the book quickly, then add an additional $3.00 for priority shipping.
- There are a few books you will see on this page that are out of print. I have very few copies of these and they are likely not availible in bookstores. They are priced based on their rarity.
- Please send with your PayPal payment the names and quantities of the books you have ordered as well as how you would like me to sign each of them.
