Ordering ...
... is simple: Just phone, fax, mail or e-mail
jrbpels@hardscratchpress.com
and tell the editorial us which books you'd like.
There's a checklist at the end of this page.
But for more details, read on.

Inquiries and
orders can be directed to Hardscratch Press at the addresses shown
to the left: e-mail, regular mail, fax or phone. Be sure to include your
mailing address and phone number.
We cannot take
credit cards, but we will pay the media mail
shipping on prepaid
orders, or we will include shipping costs on an invoice sent with your books.
Prompt payment (by check or money order) is always appreciated. Prices include California sales tax
for in-state orders; other state sales taxes do not apply.
Several of the books will come
direct from the author or translator, and you may want to request
signed copies:
Autumn Loneliness; The Life Story of Henry Ramsey Jr.;
Homesteaders in the Headlights; Miner, Preacher, Doctor, Teacher; The Morning Side of Mount Diablo;
Historic Livermore, California: A-Z, and
Vasco's Livermore, 1910. Details about the books listed in
regular black type, below, are given on the home page; light-face
titles are links to separate pages for each book.
Ray Hudson has designed and signed a handsome woodblock-print
bookplate for
copies of Volume I of Family After All that are sent direct
from Hardscratch Press, and I am happy to inscribe
copies of Volume II of Family After All and Any Tonnage, Any Ocean as well.
We offer standard
bookstore discounts and a courtesy discount
(25%) to
libraries. As noted in the acknowledgments section of Any Tonnage, Any Ocean,
"All our books are love letters to librarians." We simply couldn't
do what we do without you.
Our books are also carried
by three reputable
distributors:
Jan O'Meara (Wizard Works) in Homer, Alaska; Publication Consultants in Anchorage,
and Partners West in Renton, Wash.
Thank you for your
interest.
