ENSEMBLE CONCERT BOOKS
PRICING AND ORDERING
Having fulfilled a few orders for these books, we have discovered that printing, binding, and shipping these books is a much larger effort than we expected. Therefore, because we print each order on demand, we have been forced to revamp our pricing structure. The price for ANY NUMBER of books is $12.00 each plus shipping, with a minimum order of $120.oo (ten books). It is simply not cost effective for us to go any lower on that price.
Note that shipping prices have also increased significantly since the pandemic, so depending on the size of your order, the shipping charge can be somewhere on the high side of $45.
For orders of 100 books or more, please send us an inquiry on our CONTACT US page.
TO PLACE ANY ORDER, please use our CONTACT US page to send us a list of which books you want to order, to include the name of the VOLUME, and the number of copies of which transpositions you want for that volume. We will respond by email with a price, including shipping, and an anticipated delivery date.
