Note that Behind the Code is available both in print and in an electronic version of the somewhat-shorter second edition. You will find this option at the bottom of the price list. By ordering the electronic version, you acknowledge that you are buying the right to print it only one time, or to use the electronic file on only one device, not distributing it further.

The basic price for the hefty paperback is $43 a copy. If you hand me your cash or check and I hand you a copy , that's your price; I'll cover the sales tax.
If I ship it to you within the U.S., I offer two choices, using USPS. Postage and shipping supplies via theoretically four-day delivery, $9 per order; via Express Mail envelope, $12 per order.
I used to offer to send it via media mail. However, that has enough disadvantages that it doesn't seem worth the $2-3 saving over their insured four-day rate.

  • USPS does not guarantee that it will get to you; if it doesn't, we squawk to no avail.
  • If it does arrive, it can be torn up; if it doesn't arrive intact, we squawk to no avail.
  • I have to bring it to the post office for shipping.

Outside the U.S.? Contact me to figure out the shipping.
Want to place a quantity order? Talk to me.
Want to resell it? While I won't offer copies on consignment, a quantity order distributed over time could work.

If you prefer to send a check, make it out to "DES Publishing" in the appropriate amount including shipping, and mail it to 114 Northway, Greenbelt, MD 20770-1751
