My chop (the Chinese ideograms in the blue rectangular box at the top) was made for me in Vancouver's Chinatown in 1978. It supposedly consists of the syllables of my last name converted into the ideograms representing the closest Chinese sounds. But I have recently been advised that first, there are more than two syllables in my chop, and second, these translate very loosely into a writer of status with a light touch. Perhaps, after all, it simply says: "Made in China". It could be worse.
PayPal payments are preferred. Simply go to PayPal . Our reference is Simulacrum or kula@telus.net.
Those of you who live in North America can simply pay by personal cheque/check. Just make it out for the appropriate amount, and it's automatically in the correct currency. And please don't bother certifying it … there's no
need to pay a bank to establish your bona fides with me.
I prefer personal cheques/checks over Money Orders. Firstly, a MO costs you extra for the privilege. And secondly, a MO is more likely to cause
me delays than anything else. You see, if you live in the USA and buy a MO, unless you specify that the MO is going to
be sent internationally, by default you will receive the domestic MO for
internal USA use only. My bank is not amused if I try and deposit an internal USA MO, so I have to send it back to
you.
International customers have several options, most of them hellishly expensive. If you chose to send me a Money Order,
please note that it will automatically be made out in Canadian dollars, so you will
have to convert the price in US dollars to Canadian dollars. If you are somewhat adventurous, you may wish to consider the advantages
of sending $US cash … handled properly, there is minimal risk, and I have a
long record of successfully receiving cash in the mail from abroad. And if you don't trust me, then why the hell
are you considering subscribing in the first place?
All financial instruments (cheque, check, money order, etc.) should be made out to John Kula,
and sent to:
