Media Rate can be used on all printed or recorded materials; books fliers, posters, photos, magazines, CDs, DVDs, VHS, tapes, etc. Best of all it costs way less than any other way you can ship the above items. Sometimes less than half regular or flat rate! I know it will be a lot less than $8. It is easy to check out. Just change you listing to read "exact shipping". Then take the book to the post office and ask them to tell you. They usually ask for a zip-code, but can give you an estimate for several zip-codes around the country. Then when you have the actual zip-code you can let the winner know how much they need to send you. Once you get it, you can ship! Plus if you change to exact shipping you will get more bids. Fanned you & watching!
