How to order the 1988 rec.humor.funny annual from inside the USA and overseas:
You can use the mail, or order using my toll free 800 number or E-mail
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 to:
(Make check payable to Looking Glass Software Limited.)
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 problem.
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. We prefer MasterCard
if you have a choice.
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.

amount based on the actual postage and similar algorithm to that used above.
Or e-mail for an exact quote.
*** 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 $0.85 USD = $1 CAN.
We will convert the shipping charges above at the going rate and add it to
your credit card Canadian dollar total.
You can also order by E-MAIL if you are brave enough to include your credit
card information in non-secure USENET mail. Mail to jokebook@looking.on.ca.
(Actually, if you're near UUNET or other major sites it's probably fairly
safe -- you can contest any non-signed credit card billing anyway -- but I
make *no* guarantees about the security of net E-mail) Note as well that
sending orders via the internet may violate internet use guidelines in
some sections of that net.
If no other way is available to you, you can FAX credit card information,
your name, address, quantity of books and shipping method to 1-519-886-9495.
Put "Attn: LGS Jokebook" on the FAX.
Sorry, we can't C.O.D. over the border.

shipping.
Yes, this is advertising on the net. With luck, it will cut down
joke duplications and calls for old jokes, saving the net money.
