The Details
On the Mindshadows On-Line Shop "Print Books" page, click an "Add to Cart" button to add the first item to your shopping cart. This will take you to the PayPal secure payment shopping cart site.
On the PayPal shopping cart screen, you can change the quantity of books if desired, "check-out", and pay. You can also click "Continue Shopping" to return to the Mindshadows site to add additional items to your on-line shopping cart.
To start the checkout process from the Mindshadows site, click "View Cart", which will take you back to the PayPal site. On the PayPal site you can then review and modify the quantities of the items in your cart. Click one of the "Checkout" buttons depending on whether or not you have a PayPal account.
If you are not a member of PayPal, clicking the relevant button will take you to the credit card and billing information page. Enter your credit card and billing details - note that credit card information goes only to PayPal and is not shared with Mindshadows.
If you wish the order to be "drop-shipped" to a location in Canada other than your billing address, click the checkbox and enter the details. This can be useful for sending books as gifts.
Please enter your phone number so we can contact you if necessary regarding the order - we will not phone you for any other reason. Double check that your email address is correct, as this will be used by PayPal to send you a record of the order and by Mindshadows to connect with you about the order.
You can also cancel the order on this page, which will return you to the Mindshadows shop, acknowledging that no charges have been made.
Click "PayNow" to complete the order.
The PayPal confirmation page will display for a few seconds. From here, you can display a Printable Receipt page (if you are quick!). You will then automatically be re-directed to the Mindshadows web site (the "Merchant") where you will see additional information.
Shortly after you check-out and pay, you will receive an email from PayPal, confirming your purchase.
When Mindshadows receives notification of the order from PayPal, we will initiate shipping documentation. When completed, the shipper will send you an eMail with tracking information.
If you have any questions don't hesitate to contact Mindshadows at booksales@mindshadows.com.

US Orders
Unfortunately, shipping rates from Canada have become exorbitant, so we must now charge $19 CAN to ship one or 2 books, which is still less than Canada Post's fee. There's free shipping on orders of 3 or more books. But you'll need to go through the special ordering process outlined below to do this, not through our online store.
Special Orders
Special orders for bulk shipments of physical books, and for situations where physical books cannot be purchased locally, are handled using an email-based payment system. Discounts are available for orders of 6 or more books. This simple and secure PayPal-based system ensures that your financial information remains confidential.
It's as simple as this ...
Send us an email describing your requirements and we'll determine shipping and any other costs, and any discounts that are applicable.
A payment request will be emailed to you from PayPal or via e-transfer, if you prefer.
Click on the link in the email, and if you are satisfied, complete the on-line payment form on PayPal, and we'll ship your books.
The Details
Send an email to booksales@mindshadows.com with the particulars of your order: Qty of each book, any special instructions, preferred shipping method (if known), shipping address including postal or zip code and country, your contact info and email address if different from the one you use to send your request, your phone number, and any other particulars we should be aware of.
We will review your requirements and may connect with you to clarify details and advise you of any discounts that are available. Once the order is clarified, we will prepare a quotation that includes shipping costs and reflects any bulk discounts, and we will initiate a payment request through PayPal.
Usually within 24 hours of any order clarifications, you will receive an email from PayPal, with the subject "PayPal money request from Mindshadows". This will detail the total amount of the order including any shipping costs.
To approve the order and payment, click on the link in the email and a secure PayPal payment page will open in your web browser. Enter the requested information and when you finish, PayPal will confirm your order with an email. You don't need a PayPal account, and you can pay with common credit cards if you wish (click the link next to "Don't have a PayPal account").
When Mindshadows is notified by PayPal of the completed payment, we will ship the books requested and send you a confirmation email.
Note that although we will pre-pay the shipping costs, you will be responsible for any brokerage fees and local taxes. GST tax will be applied to Canadian orders.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact Mindshadows at booksales@mindshadows.com.
