You will not be charged for backordered titles until the time of shipment.

Returned books must be received in saleable condition or refund/credit will not be issued.  We recommend that you insure your return; we cannot give you credit for a return that is lost in the mail. There is no fee for returns, although you will not be reimbursed for the shipping cost. If the returned item is in good, resalable condition we will credit your charge card, or send you a refund check if you paid with a check or money order. Credit will be issued only for books purchased directly from Stackpole Books.
