How to Order Course Materials
NEW Ordering Process for Beginning & Apprentice Materials
We are excited to announce a new and improved way to order WASBA Beginner and Apprentice class manuals!
What’s New?
- Better Quality: Manuals are now printed by a professional book printing company that provides higher-quality, bound manuals for your students.
- Slightly Lower Price: The new base price is $20 per book for Beginners and $30 per book for Apprentice, plus tax and shipping.
- Quantity Discounts: Clubs save more when ordering multiple copies in one order. (See Volume Discounts below)
NOTE: Currently, the new ordering method is available for Beginner and Apprentice Class Manuals only. Journeyman level manuals will be available soon. Until then, please continue to order these directly from WASBA (email us at info@wasba.org or use the Order Form below!)
Steps to Order (Beginning/Apprentice)
- Determine how many books you will need. Plan ahead to take advantage of bulk pricing and to allow time for shipping. Shipping time for our test orders have been about one week, but could be two weeks.
- Create a club account at www.Blurb.com. This account lets your club place and manage orders directly through Blurb’s platform.
- Use this link for Beginner Manuals: https://www.blurb.com/bookstore/invited/10876441/a979ec1a4bdbcb330e3df3d2ad393413a04859bb
- Use this link for Apprentice Manuals: https://www.blurb.com/bookstore/invited/10876441/a979ec1a4bdbcb330e3df3d2ad393413a04859bb
Copy and paste the link into your browser to access the specific order form. Soon we will have the link available for Journeyman level manuals! - Place your order. Once your account is created, order as many copies as needed—quantity discounts apply automatically.
Note: quantities are entered when you get to the cart page on the website, rather than the order page.
Things to Know
- Each club is responsible for managing its own orders through its club Blurb account. Links can be shared with students if they want to order their own directly, but they won’t see the quantity discounts.
- Quantity Discounts: Apply automatically for bulk orders (see example below).
For assistance with accounts or ordering, please contact Sandy wasbaeducation@gmail.com or vpresident@wasba.org
