The almost 3-million book database on this site is provided by publishers and is identical to that used by almost all bookstores, libraries and on-line book retailers and is roughly 95% accurate. That sounds great until you consider that 5% of, say, 2,500,000 titles means that 125,000 entries will contain some erroneous information. That is why our real, live staff at Saturn Booksellers is here to review your order and contact you right away if there is a concern.
Please note the following terms as they are used to reflect availability on our site:
Usually ships in 1-5 days.More orders will fall into this category than all others combined. This designation is usually 99% accurate and generally refers to the 600,000 top selling titles in the country. These titles are usually available either in-store or to ship within the 5 day window. Please note that holiday or weekend orders, special shipping requests or the odd publisher inaccuracy might result in a delay.
Special OrderThis means the book you chose is not stocked at any Booksense.com warehouse and, in our experience, unfortunately is usually not available. In those rare instances when this designation is not due to inaccurate publisher information and the book does exist and can be ordered, arrival times may vary from two to several weeks. We will of course contact you on an individual order basis, but please note the meaning of this designation before placing your order.
Out of Print This designation indicates that your book is not available at any warehouse nor from any publisher. This listing is for reference only.
