In 1992 Burton decided to take his Osborne Street bookshop online and was one of the first Canadian antiquarian bookdealers to recognize the importance of Internet commerce in the used book trade. He's already invested years to work out many of the bugs that plague new cyberspace storefronts.

Standardized Catalog Descriptions
At Burton Lysecki Books, we try very hard to provide accurate and consistent descriptions of our listed books. Our catalog entries contain detailed information about the publication, the contents and the condition of the book.
![[Shipping and handling]](typak.jpg)
We want our books to arrive at your door in the same condition that they left our shop and we want you to have them as quickly as possible. All books prepared for shipment are first double wrapped in plastic and paper. Then they are placed in custom-made cardboard boxes and held immobile with shock absorbent packing material to prevent crushing and bumping.
Canadian orders are packed and shipped by Canada Post within 24 hours of receiving payment. American and most international orders are mailed regularly from Pembina, North Dakota by USPS. Your payment confirmation will indicate your shipping date.
Our shipping charges are listed in the table below. Prices are in US dollars.
