ORDER BOOKS DIRECTLY
When you order directly from August Publications, you're ordering directly from the source. We ship books the same day they're ordered and charge $5 shipping to the United States.
We want you to be happy with your purchase of an August Publications book. If you order a book from August Publications and don't want it, you can return the book within 30 days of delivery for a full refund in the same manner you purchased the book (if you paid via check, you'll receive a check; if you paid via credit card, we'll post a credit to your account). We will refund you the price of the book minus our costs for original shipping. If we shipped you the wrong item we'll pay the costs of returning it (call 612.343.5207 for details). We issue refunds within four weeks of when you send the item back to us, but we strive to turn around the refund sooner.
If you return an item after more than 30 days of delivery we will issue you an 80 percent refund. In cases where an item has clearly been used (broken spine, worn or dog-eared pages) we reserve the right to refuse a refund.
