Our books may be ordered through the normal electronic ordering systems of over 90% of all local and chain bookstores in the U.S., the United Kingdom, and Australia and are available in an increasing number stores in all three countries   In addition, all major online book retailers have our books readily available either in stock or available within a very few days. 

Like all publishers, especially small ones, we are affected by the strain placed on physical retail outlets by the enormous growth of the on-line sales of books and the enormous proliferation of new titles (almost 200,000 in the last year, and growing) which makes every aspect of running a physical bookshop more daunting, especially evaluating and procuring new titles. In the face of these challenges we are proud of the flexible and comprehensive distribution system which we have developed, one which we believe will hold us in good stead as the changing environment of the book industry continues to demand innovative adaptation. We continue to be committed to both the independent and chain physical stores, even as we recognize the almost exponential growth of the on-line book outlets and their increasing importance in the market. Below we list information that will, we hope, help those interested in finding our books both on-line and in physical stores an overview and a large measure of specificity with regard to the availability of our books.
