19 October 2020 We have had no internet connection for much of the last 3 months. Ugh! If you have problems with any orders placed with MS Book and Mineral Company during this hurricane period please let me know. We had two hurricanes (Laura and Delta) this fall separated by about 6 weeks. We are doing fine, with some damage. We will need new shingles, new windows, new garage doors, and a new fence. The original roof structure is intact with no leaks. Many people here have no roofs or very leaky ones. Lake Charles will never be the same, ever. FEMA has been asked to stay for 6 months to help clean up the mess. I am starting the November sale immediately to help with these unexpected expenses. 10% off all books, minerals, or fossils that you would like to purchase. No limits or restrictions! 15% off everything - on all orders over $ 150 (after discount) with a bonus of free, domestic media mail shipping. The October sale is still in effect. Go to the sale page to see the details about the October Sale. A quick link to the sale page is available at the top of this page. Would you like to add your email to our list announcing sales, new catalogs, and more? No risk involved. Our website is secure.
