All of these prices are reasonable guesstimates of what it would cost me, copying and shipping, within Canada and the U.S. (our postal rates just went up).  In other territories, I suggest getting in touch with me at  [email protected] (where you can also write to get a mailing address) to get some idea of the costs involved. I may be a little off either way, so I hope you'll forgive me if I make about $.30 on a 'sale' or appreciate the sacrifices I make to lose that $.30. :) The advantage, by the way, of ordering PAPER copies is you get the cover art AND some unedited articles before I did some rewrites AND the love I put into photocopying them and stuffing them into envelopes so they'll tear when they get opened.

 

If you're wondering about money, as I see it, there are two options:

 

(1) Given the coin-heavy nature of Canadian money, I find taping it to a piece of paper and folding that piece of paper up carefully for concealment usually works.  For American money, the bills should be easy enough to conceal with some folding within paper, and the same advice for coins as featured above should be okay (or just tip me *evil grin* ).

(2) If it comes right down to it, cheques payable to 'Tim Murphy' are okay, I suppose, or probably even money orders made out to me (I've never actually had to cash a money order, but I guess with I.D. it can't be that difficult - I KNOW that a money order or cheque for 'Noise Queen' or 'Ponyboys' (or 'Singing in Spring', or 'Sister I'm A Poet' or...you get the idea...) would be a lot trickier, just by common sense, since they're not my name and all...).


Thanks for your contribution to my old age pension (some cruel individuals would say I am starting quite late).
