NARGS Book Service List

Only Members of NARGS may purchase books from the Book Service. Non-members may join and purchase books at the same time (see order form). To order any book list it on the book order form.

Discounts: The Book Service will continue to offer the standard 20% discount on US publications. However, due to the high shipping costs and typically lower discounts, non-US publications will now be priced to cover such costs. Discounts on non-US publications may range from 10% to none, depending on the title. Even with little or no discount, members will still benefit by not paying higher overseas shipping charges, dealing with exchange rates or waiting longer for delivery.

Please Note: This will always be the most up-to-date listing of titles available from the NARGS Book Service. Members referring to the annual Summer published list or the quarterly ads in the Bulletin, can check their desired titles and prices against this list before ordering to avoid disappointment. If you wish to check on orders or inquire about titles, you may email the Book Service at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
