Special Publications
ASV members enjoy a 20% discount on the listed prices except for the digital edition of the Quarterly Bulletin which is inexpensive enough at $25.00 including shipping. We have had to purchase padded envelopes for the stick drives due to the US Post Office machines that mangle the envelopes and strip the drives out of the envelopes. Therefore, we have reluctantly had to add a $5.00 shipping charge for the stick drives. To order publications, please download the ASV Press Order Form
