Discounts on garden books

Members can save on a wonderful selection of garden books when they buy them at NPA meetings and events.

Books via the Internet

Now you can purchase your favorite books on-line and have them delivered directly to your door.

Here’s how to order:

  1. Determine the book(s) you want from the list below.
  2. Send a list of the books that you want to NPA Books. We will verify that the books are still available and calculate a total. Note: Books are limited to stock on hand and our inventory isn't linked to the web site, so there is a small chance that a book may be sold.
  3. NPA will email you a Paypal invoice, which will include the total for your books plus shipping at $3.95 for the first book and $1.00 per book, for each additional book. Sales tax will be added to orders shipped within the state of Washington. Members will receive a 10% discount on the total order, including tax and shipping. Not a member? Join NPA today.
  4. You can pay the invoice via Paypal with Visa, Master Card, American Express, Discover, or Debit cards with the Master Card or Visa logo. There will be a Paypal link and directions in the email. If you prefer, you may also print the invoice and mail a check to: NPA, PO BOX 279, Dupont, WA 98327. Books will be held for 3 business days. If payment is not received within that time, the books will be subject to sale to others.
