Powers Book Emporium is an eclectic book and media store emphasizing personal finance, self-help, religion and history. A small family business, we are located in New Orleans, Louisiana. We strive to offer top value and great customer service to our patrons.

We describe each book or other item individually in detail and intend to be accurate.  We pack items carefully - using bubble wrap and  a plastic bag or water resistant cover around hardback books inside a bubble mailer and a cardboard stiffener and plastic bag around softcover books also inside a bubble mailer.

We ship every business day and most orders ship within 24 hours. Regular domestic shipping is sent via Media Mail and small items such as CDs are upgraded to First Class.  Expedited domestic shipping is by Priority Mail.  International shipments are by International Air Mail or by Priority Mail if expedited.   We send an email notification of every shipment and also include a USPS tracking number for domestic orders at no extra cost.

 Expedited  domestic shipping takes between 3 to 6 business days.  Regular shipping takes 7-14 days, although in some extreme cases can take up to a month. Regular international shipping can take longer -to quote Amazon "International Standard: 3 to 6 weeks ( may take 8 to 12 weeks due to customs delays)."  For expedited international shipping we ship via Global Priority or Air Mail.

Satisfaction is guaranteed.  You are protected by either PayPal or Amazon through their customer protection programs.  More importantly, you are protected by our reputation for good business practices.  We suggest you check the feedback of anyone from whom you may purchase online.  Please check our Amazon Feedback on this page.
