If you want to buy the fourth edition of A Manual of Style for Contract Drafting from the ABA Web Store, you’ll be told you have to pay a $70 fee for shipping. For prospective buyers located in Canada, that seems steep. But if you buy just one copy of the book and want it sent to Canada, there’s a workaround:
Buy the book over the phone by calling the ABA Web Store at (800) 285-2221. Request surface shipping to Canada. It should cost around US$20.
Let me know how it goes.
Do you have any plans on eventually making this available via Amazon.ca like with the previous editions?
Yes, the print version and a Kindle version will be on Amazon about six months after publication.
I live in the Canadian Province of New Brunswick just some 15 miles from the Maine border, where I have a postal address in Calais, ME. Just ordered it with delivery to the Calais address by UPS Ground at $12.95. That sounds reasonable. – Inge Noeninger, Noeninger Translations, St. Andrews, NB, Canada
Sounds like a good solution, but I’m sorry you have to resort to this sort of ingenuity!
