(This posting is a companion to the announcement of the 1988 annual, which
should have come first.)

How to order the 1988 rec.humor.funny annual from inside the USA and overseas:
(Instructions for Canada will be posted with "can" distribution.)

You can use the mail, or order using my toll free 800 number with a
major credit card.   I can send the book to you either by surface
mail (about 2 weeks) or air mail (just over 1 week) as you choose.

If you order by mail, mail a check or money order for $9.95 (US Funds)
per copy, plus the shipping/handling charges (see below) to:

	Jokebook
	c/o Looking Glass Software Ltd.
	124 King St. N.
	Waterloo, ON
	N2J 2X8

	Canada

Please include a mailing label for the return package.  A stick on label
would be great, but a plain cut piece of paper would be fine.  In your
order, include the number of copies you want, how you want them shipped,
and your EMAIL address in case there's any trouble.

		Toll Free Ordering

You can dial 1-800-265-2782 from within the continental USA to order.
(Outside, dial 1-519-884-7473)  This 800 number does not exist just for the
jokebook, so please try to keep it short so I can keep my costs down.
When you call, between 10 AM and 5 PM Eastern Standard Time, please have
ready with you:

	The type, card number and expiry date of your credit card.
	(MasterCard, Visa or American Express) Also give your name here
	if it's being mailed to a different person.

	The name and address to ship the book to.

	The number of books and type of shipping.

	Your EMAIL address in case there's any problem.


Here's the tricky part.  If you order by credit card, you will be billed
in Canadian dollars.  Your bank will do an exchange for you and bill you
in U.S. dollars.  The current rate in the paper is around $0.81 USD = $1 CAN.
We will bill you at this rate ($12.25 CDN for the book), but your bank's
rate will vary.

You can also order by E-MAIL if you are crazy enough to include your
credit card information in non-secure USENET mail.  Mail to
jokebook@looking.UUCP.

Sorry, we can't C.O.D. over the border.

		SHIPPING/HANDLING CHARGES TO THE USA

	Surface (Book) Rate			Air Mail (1st Class)

	1  -  $2				1  -  $4
	2-4 - $4				2  -  $7
	5-6 - $6				3  -  $9
						4  - $10

If you order by credit card, the above prices will be converted to
Canadian dollars and charged as such on your credit card bill, to be
converted back to U.S. dollars by your bank as described above.

		OVERSEAS SHIPPING CHARGES (U.S. Dollars)

	1 Book Air Mail - $7
	1 Book Surface - $4
	2 Books Surface - $6


I won't bill your credit card or cash your check until we send the
book to you!

If a group wants to get together and order 20 or more, I can do a
discount and arrange cheaper or faster shipping, like UPS.

Yes, this is advertising on the net.  With luck, it will cut down
joke duplications and calls for old jokes, saving the net money.
If you want to discuss this again, go to rec.humor.d.  Do not send this
message over the ARPANET.

(NO, I didn't set all this up just to order books.  I run a software
company, so all the mechanism for this is already in place.)
