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.

NOW AVAILABLE: HOMER: THE SMALL-TOWN BASEBALL ODYSSEY

If Homer: The Small-Town Baseball Odyssey simply covered the inspirational story of the tiny Michigan high school that fashioned a national-record winning streak and captured multiple state titles, it could easily stand by itself. But Jeff Karzen’s tale is about more than just prep baseball. It’s an amazing story of how high-school athletes established a winning tradition and performed with grace and class – despite the small-town politics that almost led to the removal of a dedicated and admired coach.

The inspirational tale is the latest offering from August Publications. Read on for more information, including an offer of free shipping!

The comprehensive 394-page volume exploring minor-league and leading college ballparks – large and small – will entertain readers interested in Tar Heel state baseball history, and serve as a guide to visitors of today’s ballparks.
