Our publication dates will move when we find that a book has editorial issues that need to be addressed. When the anticipated publication dates change we’ll change that information on our website.
Supply chain problems have continued to escalate in 2022, affecting almost every aspect of book production, storage, and delivery – mostly as a result of COVID-related bottlenecks. For that reason, some of our forthcoming releases have been pushed back weeks or even months due to printer and delivery delays as we wait out port congestion, the lack of shipping containers, trucking delays, and staffing shortages at distribution or fulfillment centers. We’re doing our best to get you the No Starch Press books that you love as soon as possible.
When publication dates change we’ll let you know via Twitter updates, or in an email if you’ve pre-ordered the book. One big benefit of ordering from us directly is that most pre-orders come with digital Early Access chapters delivered directly to your nostarch.com account as soon as they’re available (no matter where the hard copy is in the supply chain).
Question about the status of your order? If you can’t find the tracking information you’re looking for in your account please email orderstatus@nostarch.com. Our helpful human customer support people will be glad to help you.
United States shipping is typically taking somewhat longer than the standard 5 – 7 days via UPS Ground.
Our international shipping is experiencing delays due to limited airline route availability, reduced staffing, and COVID-19 restrictions. In some countries, it can take up to 6-10 weeks or more for orders to make it to you. For information on the status of your international order (that you’re not finding in your tracking information) please email orderstatus@nostarch.com.
April 6, 2022 — Australia orders: We have been unable to send shipments to Australia for months. We’re hoping that orders to Australia will be shipping out soon. We are currently not accepting any new orders that require shipping to Australia.
If your order is returned to us due to an incorrect shipping address that was not due to our error, you may request that it be reshipped to you though there may be an additional shipping charge.
We stand behind what we publish. If you are unhappy with your purchase of a print book for any reason, you may return it for a refund within 30 days of your purchase (minus shipping cost).

When purchasing a print book as a PREORDER, you’ll be charged when you place your order.
We’re eager to get our titles in your hands as soon as we can. That’s why when you pre-order most books on our website, you don’t have to wait for the print edition to start reading! When a pre-order comes with “Early Access,” you receive a PDF containing completed chapters as soon as they’re available. Check out the Table of Contents on the book’s landing page to see what’s ready for you to read immediately – the EA material will be marked by bold red font. As more chapters of the ebook become available, we’ll load them into your customer account at nostarch.com, and send you an email notification with a download link. Or, you can access them directly by logging in under your user profile https://nostarch.com/my-account.
We accept payment by credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover) and PayPal.
That depends – do you live in California? If not, then no. We charge a 7.5% sales tax on orders that ship within CA, and 8.5% on orders that ship to addresses in San Francisco. We do not charge tax on digital items (ebooks) or international orders.
First of all, sorry for the inconvenience! Keep in mind that any particularly large orders will be automatically declined due to our fraud prevention system – but we are happy to manually process the order for you. Simply email us at info@nostarch.com.
If you are having general issues with PayPal or a declined credit card, please reach out to info@nostarch.com for assistance.

You pay for shipping what we pay for shipping, no more – we don’t charge any sort of “handling” fee. Our costs are as follows:

*Please note: Several of our titles, including The TCP/IP Guide and The Linux Programming Interface, are very heavy and must be shipped at a two-book rate. As a general rule, if a book is over 1,000 pages long, it will ship at the two-book rate.
