$10.00

According to the dust jacket,

In this sourcebook, sponsored by the Association of Borderlands Scholars, fifty scholars from over a dozen disciplines review the outstanding issues in contemporary border life and evaluate the pertinent information sources for each topic. This is the only such basic, comprehensive work on the United States-Mexico border region currently available in 1 any form.

The sourcebook comprises three parts and a bibliography. Part One delineates the Borderlands, discusses borders and frontiers, and compares the Mexican and Canadian borders. Part Two includes sections on history, archaeology, geology, the environment, economics, politics, law, demography, society, and culture. Part Three discusses Borderlands resource materials. The massive composite bibliography is the largest ever compiled on and about the U.S.-Mexican Borderlands.

As a single source for most of the important work in fifteen academic disciplines, the Borderlands Sourcebook will be invaluable to anyone searching for information on the lands along the boundary of the United States and Mexico. Community leaders, federal and local agency officials, businessmen, and others interested in border problems will benefit from the collective expertise of the contributors. Scholars will find in the essays new points of departure for their research.

1) COMBINED SHIPPING/POSTAGE:

a. I happily combine shipping (where possible, sometimes it isn't), but orders over $10 total will likely require tracking now because of unacceptable Postal Service delays resulting in INR claims. Tracking/delivery confirmation seems to speed up shipments. So there might not be a discount on several inexpensive items combined, and you accept this. All international orders will require tracking, as provided by .

b. If you haven't paid yet for multiple purchases, please wait for a combined invoice, which may take up to 24 hours to send you. Don't worry, it's not a race to see how fast you can pay.

c. If you must pay immediately, make sure all the items are on the same payment transaction (same order). I will then be able to combine shipping (if possible) and send you a partial refund for overpayment of postage. Some people make numerous multiple purchases with separate payments and look for a shipping discount. That will not happen, so please add your items to your cart, and when you are done looking at my stuff, buy it all at once. Thanks!

2) POSTAGE: All USPS postage rates are calculated using the most affordable (not the quickest) shipping class, based on a pre-sale estimated weight and size of the package. Sometimes multiple options are offered. If you want to upgrade to a quicker, more expensive postal class not shown, you must let me know BEFORE you pay. All requests for special handling, extra packaging, etc. must be made prior to payment so that invoice can be adjusted.

3) INSURANCE: In the event of loss or damage on insured packages, buyer agrees to fulfill all requirements of the insurer in the processing of a claim, or forfeits their right to request a refund.

4) SALES TAX: has taken over all responsibility for sales tax collection for all states that require it. I have no control whatsoever over who pays sales tax, it is out of my hands. The same is true for all international taxes, duties and VAT. Please direct all questions/complaints to the good folks at .

5) INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: We no longer ship any merchandise (as in postcards) via letter rate internationally. It is prohibited by the UPU (subject to seizure or return), and is also not trackable. International shipping is offered as a courtesy to those who can afford it, and is handled entirely through . All Import duties, taxes, and charges are handled by as well. I no longer ship directly, because of the excessive amount of “item not received” claims, resulting in my loss.

Most of my international postcard buyers, who prefer to pay the lower letter rate postage, have a friend/relative in the USA to whom I can ship several postcards in a letter (for about $1.00-1.50 at time of this listing), and will specify this prior to payment. If you do this, then that friend will forward the postcards in a letter rate envelope to you the buyer, and the shipping risk will be yours, not mine. Multiple purchases can also be combined when you ship to a USA recipient. This is the way of the future on , as more and more sellers move away from the risks of untracked international letter rate mail.

6) REPRODUCTION OF IMAGES: Seller is not selling the exclusive rights to reproduce images of the item offered. Buyer is of course free to reproduce as they wish, but seller retains and may exercise the right to reproduce any images of the item for any purpose before or after the sale, without permission from or compensation to the buyer.

7) LISTING DISCREPANCIES: If the Title, Description, and/or Photo on a listing do not match, for gosh sakes don't buy it. Mistakes happen. Let me know instead so I can fix the listing. If you do buy, the item described in the Title of the listing takes precedence over anything else. If you don't agree with that, I will consider that your request to cancel the transaction of the faulty listing.
