Suzanne Ellison prepared this montage of swimming ducks from A.-J. Roubo’s “The Book of Plates” (plates 98, 294, 319 and 349) to remind you that you have only a day or so to order “The Book of Plates” and have any hope of it being delivered before Christmas.
Also worth noting: We are shipping this book (and all of our books) via Priority mail until the end of 2014. After that, we will be switching to another system of mailing books. It will be more reliable, likely a little faster than Media Mail and definitely more expensive.
So take advantage of us while you can. Shipping will be more expensive in 2015 (can you hear us, California?).

I assume you will make the awesome indexer’s awesome artwork available for purchase in various approptiate (?) media? Because I want it on a t-shirt, or possibly just some heavy paper.
I second the motion!
I’m glad I got my book when I did then. Nothing beats free shipping. Thanks!
Apologies in advance, but to clarify, the price already increased a little bit due to the switch to Priority mail and the upcoming shipping options will increase them again, correct? Not complaining, it almost sounds like you are shipping at the lower media mail rate until the end of the year and then the rate will increase, hence my question.
Different subject: You going to sell the new toolbox?
Yup. When you charge $9 to ship something that costs $30 to ship you make small adjustments. And it is going to go up significntly in January.
And the new tool chest already has a buyer. Thanks for asking.
Thanks. Just placed the order. (I was worried about it arriving media mail which is why I would usually wait for one of you guys to show up at Jeff Miller’s to buy what I wanted.)
I hope you keep the USPS option available. That’s the only affordable way to ship to Alaska. UPS charges a fortune.
