I accept personal checks, postal money orders and PayPal (as a friend). I will ship Media Mail in a padded envelope if that is acceptable to the buyer. I can most likely mail 3-5 books for the same price as one book. I think the shipping would be $2.80 as long as the parcel doesn't weigh more than 16 ounces. I could most likely ship 3 or 4 books for the $2.80 which is Media Mail.
