The first edition can be shipped as soon as I receive payment. See the cost below.
The second edition is out of print. I will have 2nd edition books available to ship on January 5, 2026. If you want me to hold one for you send an e-mail to makingKODAKfilm@yahoo.com There is no obligation when you send an e-mail. I will acknowledge your email and notify you when books are available. Please do not send payments for the Second Edition before January 1, 2026. I am hoping to lower the selling price of the second edition.
Your payment via PayPal or money order is your order. If you provide an email address, I will confirm your order and provide the shipping tracking number. If you do not receive your paid for book, US customers must notify me within two weeks of ordering and international customers within four weeks so I can resolve the situation. This time requirement is imposed by the shippers and PayPal. Everyone who paid for a book has received their book. I have successfully shipped books to 55 countries.
I pay the PayPal fee. PayPal requires that I ship to the address associated with the buyer's account. PayPal allows NO flexibility on this. If you want shipment to another address use PayPal's "send money to a friend" service option. In this case you assume the shipping risk since you are responsible for the accuracy of the address.
Rather than PayPal you can pay using US Postal Service Money Order sent to:
Robert L. Shanebrook
439 Avondale Road
Rochester, NY 14622-1903
USA
I will ship within two business days after payment is received.
