Customers who do not understand purchase orders, or who are making their first purchase, frequently ask us this somewhat puzzling question.

If you are with an organization and are not pre-paying, you need to contact the person who is authorized to make purchases.

We don’t send purchase orders; you (or your purchasing authority) send purchase orders to us.

For your convenience, you can order online, using a purchase order or download order forms for creating purchase orders.

Please click here for answers to the numerous questions we get about shipping.

You may return books within 30 days of the invoiced date as long as you include a copy of the invoice and the item arrives in our warehouse in resalable (new) condition. In general, DVDs are not returnable as they are no longer new once viewed. For more on our Returns policy, click here.

Just go to the button in the upper right side of this website, below the search box, and click on “Download Order Form.” The order form is in PDF format. Alternatively, you can click here to get the order form.

Ordering with us is simple. First, download our digital catalog from this website and search for the titles of interest. However, it is not necessary to look up order codes because our system is title sensitive. Once you find the correct title, add it to the shopping cart. When you place an order using our downloadable order form, just list the titles and prices. We will confirm the titles once the order form is received. 

We only list ISBNs for the titles that we publish. You’ll find them with the description of each title.

You can phone or email us, and we will check for you to see whether a VHS version is available.

Video clips are available for many products, but not all. When they are available, you will see a link to the preview video. However, if you have any questions about particular products, please contact us (800-361-1055) for information and advice. Our product experts can save you a great deal of time and money by helping you narrow your choices to DVDs that would be most appropriate for you and your audience.

Yes. Just type into the search engine the word (without the quote marks!) “caption” or “captions.” Up will come all of the titles that we know are captioned or subtitled in English.

If you are interested in a title that doesn’t appear to be captioned or subtitled, let us know and we can check it out for you.

Sorry, but we’re not donors – we’re publishers and distributors who have to make a living. We get many requests for donations, but if we gave away our resources, they would have no value, and we would be in the same situation you’re in – few resources to do the job that needs to be done.

Many innovative nonprofit organizations and government agencies use our catalogs and flyers to educate donors on the need to acquire our many valuable resources.

If you are an individual looking for a donation, we recommend that you share information about our resources with people who can help you – library,  civic associations, church or other place of worship, relative, friend, or mentor.

This is an actual request we received, one of many similar to this. Our typical response goes like this:
Please see the enclosed flyers and share them with your education department or chief psychologist. They may want to acquire these resources and put them into circulation so other inmates can benefit from them. Best wishes.

Maybe. Send us details on your group. We can also provide you with customized flyers on resources relevant to your participants which you could include in their registration packets.

Yes, but which catalog are you interested in? How many copies do you need? When do you need them? If we’re out of catalogs, would you like us to provide you with customized flyers? What subjects and types of resources is your audience most interested in? 

Yes. just call our toll-free number: 800-361-1055. We can recommend the best resources for your needs.

Please note that this is not a free counseling hotline for individuals in search of employment or travel advice. We only provide product advice – the best resources for your needs and budget

Sorry, but we’re not an employment nor counseling service. Send your resume to a professional resume writer for a free critique or fee-based makeover. Be sure to send it directly to a company you’re interested in applying for a job.

Sorry, but we are not able to provide employment advise. Check with your local library or One-Stop Career Center. They might be able to help you. We encourage you to find some money to buy the book, which costs less than the price of four gallons of gas – a very inexpensive but wise investment in your future that you can refer to often.
