NOW IN PAPERBACK

When God Was a Little Girl — available in both English and Spanish!

Saint Mary’s Press now offers a paperback version of the book. It’s smaller and thinner than the hardbound (7”x 9” vs. 8.75”x 11.25”), but still printed on high quality paper, with vivid artwork to complement the imaginative tale. And still makes a great gift!

The paperback edition is priced at $16.00 and is available in both English and Spanish.

Unfortunately, Saint Mary’s has decided to “retire” the hardbound version. I have just a handful of hardbound copies left. I will sell these at $27.95 since they may be the last available. CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE A HARDBOUND COPY.

The rest of the details …

I use PayPal to process your transaction securely. You’ll have the option of selecting “standard shipping,” which uses USPS Media Mail. It will get the book to you in 4-7 business days depending on how far you are from the Minnesota.  For a couple dollars more you can choose “Priority Mail,” which will get you the book in 2-3 days (although that may lag by a day during Christmas rush). Note: you can’t choose Priority Shipping until you reach check out, but once you’re there, you can upgrade to Priority Shipping if you wish.

International shipping? Yes! BUT … there is no “Media Mail” (discount) option for international shipping, and postage costs rise quickly! In most cases, you can get a second (or even a third!) book for almost the same shipping charge as the first one, so it often makes sense to order 2 or 3 book at time. Still interested? Contact me, David – drw59(dot)mn@gmail.com — and we’ll go from there.

You’ll notice I discount the book from its $21.95 retail price on Saint Mary’s website – why?

Short answer: $21.95 seems steep for a thin paperback book—however gorgeous and evocative it might be. And my author’s discount lets me price it at $16.00 and still do okay. Plus, I don’t want the shipping charges to keep you from buying direct from me—and I surely don’t want to lose you to Amazon. So, I offset the shipping costs a bit by lowering the price online. Plus, you’ll get an autographed copy from me!

A last word …

I’m also happy to support brick-and-mortar (“walk in and browse”) bookstores. Whether you have a favorite local bookshop or enjoy Barnes and Noble, you can go to the bookstore of your choice and ask them to special order it for you. Those orders also help, because they give bookstores a chance to see the book when it comes in–and maybe the incentive to stock it in their store.
