Option 2: Order from the FOA: We keep a small supply of books in our offices. Since we travel often, we may not be able to ship promptly and since we have to ship the books all the way across the USA to us, the cost is a bit higher. But if you cannot go direct to Createspace, contact us for ordering information.
