Memory Books will not be delivered until the last week of school. To ensure that your child receives a copy, we encourage you to reserve your copy by placing an advance order. You may reserve your copy in two ways: (i) return the paper order form (print and return the form) with your payment or (ii) order and pay by credit card on the Josten’s web site: www.jostensyearbooks.com (select K-12 as “school or group type;” select USA as “country or territory;” select Virginia as “state or province”). Either way, we will acknowledge your order with a receipt.

The per book price is $20 until December 31, 2010. After that, the per book price increases to $22. We will commit to a firm number of books ordered from the publisher by January 15, 2011. After that, we will take requests to reserve a book on a first come, first served basis for any limited quantity of extras that we may order. We do not guarantee that we will order extras for sale after January 15 or during the last week of school when books are distributed for signing.
