BOOK ORDERING SPECIFICS

BOOK BINDING PARTICULARS: Customers may choose either a softcover or hardcover binding for books purchased from ESCN Database Reports. Softcover books are bound with a simple velo-bind binding system, using a front and back paper softcover and two hard plastic binding strips with 4 hidden binding pegs to bind the book pages together.

Hardcover books are bound by a Certified Library Book Bindery, using a Grade F Buckram hardcover that meets the Library Binding Institute Standard for Library Binding. Please Note: We recommend the hardcover binding option for all Library customers.

PAGE SIZE & PAPER PARTICULARS: All of our books utilize an 8 1/2" by 11" page size and are printed on acid-free paper to insure a high quality paper for archival purposes.

Please allow 4 to 6 weeks for processing and delivery of your book order. Overseas orders are shipped via USPS Surface Parcel Post. Overseas customers should allow 10 to 12 weeks for processing and delivery of book order.

A Late Charge of 5% of Balance Due will be added to all accounts not paid within 30 days from date of Invoice and an additional Late Charge of 1% of Balance Due will be added to a delinquent account every 30 days thereafter until such account is paid in full. If any account becomes 120 days delinquent from date of Invoice, said account will be turned over to our Attorney for collection and no further credit will be granted by ESCN Database Reports to the party delinquent in payment of the account.

INSTITUTIONAL STANDING ORDER PROGRAM: ESCN Database Reports offers a Future Series Subscriber (Standing Order) program to our institutional customers that provides additional book savings to institutional customers who regularly purchase ESCN Database Reports. This program allows an institutional customer to automatically receive new ESCN Database Reports, as they are published, at a continuing 10% STANDING ORDER DISCOUNT off of established individual book prices.

Standing Order Customers will be billed for newly released ESCN Database Reports publications at time of shipment and normal Shipping and Handling Charges apply. In order to participate in this program, a Standing Purchase Order must be created by your Purchasing Department or by an authorized official of your institution. Institutional customers may cancel participation in the Future Series Subscriber program at anytime, by sending a signed written notice requesting such cancellation to our company offices. Upon receipt of cancellation notice, we will remove your name from our Standing Order Customer list and no further publications will be sent to you.
