Write to [email protected]. A person reads it — this is a small press, not a support desk, so expect a reply from the person who made the book rather than a ticket number.
If your order has a problem, include the receipt number from your confirmation. You can also check where an order is at any time on the order page using that receipt.
If you buy something, we keep your address so we can reach you about that order — a problem with your delivery, a question about your address, your digital files if something goes wrong with the download. That is the whole of it. We do not send marketing to buyers who did not ask for it.
Right now we do not send automatic order emails. Your receipt comes from Whop, who take the payment, and everything else lives on the order page: production status, dispatch, tracking, and your download links. We would rather tell you that than promise an email that does not arrive. When automatic order emails are switched on, this page will say so before the first one is sent.
If you ask to be told when a volume prints, we keep your address until we send that one message, and then you can leave. It is one message per volume you asked about. We will not use it to sell you something else in the meantime.
We do not sell, rent, or share your address with anyone, and we do not send it to advertising or analytics companies. Our own usage measurement is not connected to your email address or your order.
To be removed, write to [email protected] and say so. We delete it. You do not need a reason and we will not ask for one.
We measure how the site is used, and we do it ourselves. When you view a page or click a button here, the site records that this happened — which page, which button, roughly when. It goes to our own server. It is how we learn that, say, nobody ever reaches the checkout from a particular page.
It does not go to anybody else. There is no Google Analytics, no Meta pixel, no TikTok pixel, no advertising tag and no third-party tracking cookie. We do not track you across other websites, because nothing we run follows you off this one.
We do not record who you are. No name, no account, no cookie that identifies you between visits. We count events, not people. Our emails contain no open-tracking pixels — if we tell you something has shipped, it is because the printer told us, not because we watched you read a message.
Our hosting provider records ordinary web-server information such as IP addresses and the pages requested, which is how any website works and how attacks are stopped. We do not build profiles from it.
Checkout is handled by Whop, which is the merchant of record for your purchase. Your card details are entered on Whop's systems and never reach ours — we never see a card number. Whop sends us what we need to fulfil the order: what you bought, the delivery address, and an email address. Their own privacy terms cover what they hold.
Books are printed to order by Lulu, which is why delivery takes a couple of weeks rather than a day. To print and post your book, we pass Lulu your delivery address and a contact telephone number, because the carrier requires one. That is the only reason it is collected.
Thirty days. If the book is wrong, damaged, or not what you expected, write to [email protected] and we will sort it out.
Every document we print is a public record of the United States government and is free to read from its official source. We say so on each volume's page and link the free copy. What you are buying is the edition — the facsimile, the transcription, the notes and the binding — not access to the document.
An independent press for documents the record already holds.
The source documents are works of the U.S. Government and are in the public domain. Transcriptions, annotations, introductions, design and typography are original to these editions. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any government agency.
