For authors, publishers, and/or book distributors wishing to list we offer the following fees:

Yep, you read that correctly-ten cents a sale. More on that in a moment.

To list a book for sale here, you must be a registered user, plus one or more of the following: an author selling his or her own new or hurt books and eBooks; a publisher selling its own new or hurt books or eBooks; or a registered user selling used paperbacks or hardcovers only--NO PRE-OWNED EBOOKS, OR PIRATED EBOOKS, OR LINKS TO PIRATED EBOOK FILES. We will ban for life those who think to profit on piracy, plus we will not hesitate to turn over every bit of personal information on any eBook pirates brought to our attention to the injured author and/or publisher, as well as the authorities if necessary, with no exceptions.

We have no minimum listing requirements. One book or thousands, as long as you have the right(s) to do so, feel free to list at will.

You may list hurt and/or slightly damaged new books as well as used paperback or hardcovers as long as this condition is clearly noted prominently in your individual listing(s).

We reserve the right to kick your butt off this site anytime we feel it necessary, but we're not going to do that without one or two email warnings to the effect that: a) your business practices are resulting in excessive complaints from our customers; b) you're making an insufferable pain in the ass of yourself with our administration; or c) you're an eBook pirate. Should you manage to screw up in any one of these three major ways, we will boot you and your products from this site with no remorse.

No foul or insulting or hate language is allowed in either your listings or reviews. The message board is unmoderated and available only to registered users. We reserve the right to define what foul, insulting, hate language is, and violating this more than once will be considered, from our point of view, an aggravation approaching pain-in-the-ass status (see above).

We neither make nor imply any guarantee that listing any book or eBook on our site is going to result in sales.

A Paypal Account is required to enable the Buy Now button option we offer (free for the life of the listing--make sure you check the box on the form, but in lieu of, or in addition to, a Paypal account,listing authors or publishers or used book sellers may embed their own buy button and/or download links within each individual listing page at no extra charge, using our HTML editor that is standard with each listing.

If you wish to list a book that has several versions, say a paperback and an eBook, or a hardcover and an audio version, or any combination thereof, you may embed buy buttons or links to those specific versions within the book's main listing page at no extra charge. Be very clear as to what version the buy button pertains to so the customer isn't disappointed, and also be sure to include the ISBN and other pertinent data within this portion of the listing so the site's search engine can find it.

We would like to see the majority of our listing partners offer free shipping to our customers, so you might want to adjust your book prices accordingly. This is not a requirement, however.If you offer free shipping, please note that in your listing as well as the countries or territories that you ship to, free or not. If your PayPal and/or embedded buy button preferences are not configured as such, then please do not infer or intimate in any way in your listing that you offer free shipping. Instead, note the added cost for shipping in your listing. We'd like our customers to know that the price(s) they see is/are the price(s) they're going to pay with no hidden surprises.

Ok, on the ten cents a sale thing--these fees are not introductory, nor will we entertain the prospect of raising them in the future. We're hoping that by keeping our sales fees ultra-low, our author and publisher partners will pass their savings on to the customers in the form of discounts and free shipping, thus giving all who list their books here a chance to compete for the business other booksellers appear to have taken for granted. Sales fees are due on the last day of each month, and reporting and/or payment to us is dependent entirely upon the honor system. While our site configuration would allow us to track individual sales if we wanted, we have decided to challenge the world of business as we all know it by putting our money, literally, where our mouth is and trusting the honesty and goodness of the people and organizations that have chosen to do business with us. For those who would rip us off, however, we know you're just gambling with your karma, and we at 45 Caliber Books are not responsible for whatever horrible fate and/or fates may befall you in future. No, really--we're not in any way, shape or form liable for the Cosmos or the rules of karma that you may or may not have chosen to flaunt.

Please do not send us any payment for sales fees until your cumulative monthly sales reach at least a dollar or more. Do roll them over from month to month until this benchmark is reached, however. Remember, the Cosmos is watching you...no, really.

For your convenience we accept payment for sales fees through Paypal (webmaster@45caliberbooks.com), but we don't mind if you send a check to 45 Caliber Books, 784 US Hwy 89, Vaughn, MT, 59487. Whatever's cheaper and easier for you.

For those of you who might wish to increase their good karma and support us in our mutual cause, we don't mind if you add a bit extra to that sales fee payment you may or may not be sending us at the end of the month. Hell, you can even donate if you've got it and want us to have some. We'll dump whatever we can into marketing, thus benefitting all of us, but most of all, our customers.

We are 45 Caliber Books--the antidote to (______)...well, we filled in that blank with the one-word term for an eight-hundred pound gluttonous bitch attempting to dominate the book-buying jungle. What's in your blank?

How we got our name: After tossing around choices for like, well, ever it seemed, our chief cook and bottle washer finally posed the question: how do you take out an eight-hundred pound gluttonous bitch bent on ravaging the wallets of innocent customers, authors, and publishers? And to a man and woman, we, the newbie staff--fresh off the streets, mind you--had only one answer: with a 45.

45 Caliber Books. And that's just some of who we are.

Whether or not you join the 45 Caliber Books family, please help us and our listing partners by sharing this site with family, friends, acquaintances, enemies, whomever you desire, whenever or wherever you can. We thank you for your support!
