I formed 20 Ants Fine Books in 1998, selling online and by catalog to my customer list. I maintain an intentionally minimal stock of books I consider to be of merit and interest. I've changed the focus of my stock more than once to accommodate changes in the market and now focus on building a stock of fine press books and examples of the book arts. As stated, I believe in presenting books of merit and offer collectors, at all levels, books and ephemera that may speak to them. I have been a member of IOBA since 2004 and have served the organization in many ways: President in 2007, Board Member at Large, Editor of the IOBA Standard, member of the Internet Committee, and Webmaster. I'm contributing to the 'new' ioba.org and see a bright future for what the site offers to the public and how it serves our membership. 1/1 1/1 1/1 1/1 Featured Items After Hours Conversations : Conversations with Lawrence Block VIEW DETAILS O’Hara, Frank, [Jim Dine, illustrator], Arion Press VIEW DETAILS Pili's Wall, by Philip Levine, former Poet Laureate of the United States VIEW DETAILS Network at Fifty, by Norman Corwin.

SALES TAX A 7% sales tax is charged only for books delivered in the state of Ohio. SHIPPING - DOMESTIC Shipping within the United States is available through USPS Media Mail or Priority Mail or UPS.

If that is the case, you will be contacted to approve any additional charge to cover the extra shipping. SHIPPING - INTERNATIONAL International orders are normally shipped in a USPS Priority Mail International® Flat-Rate envelope or box; inquire about the cost of shipping to your country if you live outside the United States since the cost varies widely, depending upon the size and weight of the package and the country to which it is being delivered. Customs charges are the responsibility of the buyer. All shipments to destinations outside the U.S. will bear the required customs label, be marked “merchandise,” and show the book price(s) as the declared value(s). RETURNS Our goal is to serve you by providing you with the book you want, so we want you to be satisfied with the book. If there is any problem with your order, please contact us and we will do all we can to make it right. If you find it necessary to return the book you received, you may do so within 14 days from the date of sale. Please notify us within five days of receipt so we can be expecting its return. Include the paperwork that accompanied the book (which includes the order number) and indicate your reason for the return. If the book is returned in the same condition in which it was sent, you will receive a full refund of the purchase price. The buyer normally pays for return shipping. However, if you are not satisfied with your purchase due to an error in our description or because you feel the book is “not as described,” we will happily cover the full cost of the return.
