I happily combine shipping. If you order multiple items, request a combined invoice after you choose all items, using the "Request Total" link from your shopping cart (The "Request Total" link may not exist on mobile devices.) If you're bidding on an auction, I will invoice you after all your auctions close.
Your book will be shipped by USPS using the method you select, using a corrugated cardboard box with internal padding. The book you will receive is the one pictured.
