Orders
(Revised 3/10/93)
How To Obtain Disks
First, you may wish to check with your local dealers and user groups.
Most already have many of the disks. Since these disks can be copied
freely, and widespread distribution is encouraged, they propagate out
to central distribution points fairly quickly. For currently released
disks, local sources are often the cheapest and quickest way of
obtaining a disk you are looking for.
Anyone is welcome to obtain disks directly from me, and in particular,
to set up a subscription for future disks (see below). It is the
subscribers for future disks that essentially fund continuing devel-
opment of disks and ensure the continuance of the library.
Naturally, you are encouraged to make copies for your friends, local
user groups, dealers, etc. My goal is to get as much software as pos-
sible into the hands of people that can use and enhance it, and make
the AMIGA the success it deserves to be.
How to Order
To order, send a list of the disks you want, and payment in U.S.
funds to:
Fred Fish
Amiga Library Disks
1835 East Belmont Drive
Tempe, Arizona 85284
USA
The per disk fee as of March 1993 is as follows:
1 to 9 disks $4 per disk
10 or more disks $3 per disk
complete library $1 per disk (see note below)
The price includes cost of media, mailing materials, and postage
(except for the "complete library" rate). Domestic (USA) mail is
sent first class. Overseas mail is sent via Air Mail at no addi-
tional charge. Time and other jobs permitting, all disks will be
mailed within 5 days of receipt of order, except for very large
orders. Most orders are filled within 3 days.
If the per disk charge in effect at the time your order is received
is less than the amount stated above, you will be charged the lower
rate, and an appropriate credit for the difference added to your
account. It is highly unlikely that the per disk charge will be
higher (it has always decreased, reflecting my decreasing cost for
disks since beginning distribution of the library).
Credit card orders can be accepted, however such orders must be a
minimum of $200 and are subject to a $25 processing fee (the fee
charged me to get them processed through a third party).
Complete Library Orders
The "complete library" price ($1 per disk) applies only to orders
of a complete set of all disks in the library at the time of the
order, and does NOT include shipping. Use an estimate of 5lbs per
100 disks to compute shipping charges for the method of your choice
and include sufficient funds to cover such charges. Any excess will
be refunded. Up to an additional 100 future disks can be preordered
at the same time as the initial order, for $2 per disk.
This offer is intended to provide a relatively low startup cost
for new user groups, dealers, or other users, to obtain a complete
library set.
Subscriptions
Feel free to order more than the current number of disks available.
Excess funds will be placed "in escrow" (refundable at any time)
and drawn against for automatic mailings of future disks as they
become available. These disks will be charged against your account
at the per disk charge in effect at the time they are shipped.
I hope to add at least four to six disks per month to the library.
Tape Distributions
Some library materials are now available on 1/4" cartridge tape.
Below is a description of the first three tapes in the library.
Hardwr Softwr

media such as SONY QD-6150 tapes, duplication and handling, and
priority mail for domestic USA customers or airmail for international
customers.
