Each volume of the This is True collection contains a full year's worth of columns from This is True, plus many extra stories that didn't make it into the column -- newspapers have a strict space budget which Randy must adhere to, but sometimes there are just too many fun stories he can't help but write about. You haven't seen them all even if you've read every column online or in the newspaper. There are more than 500 True stories and headlines in each!

And these are no cheap pulp paperbacks. We specified non-petroleum ink to help reduce chemical use, and acid-free paper to help prevent yellowing of the pages. They're "trade" (high-quality) paperbacks with stay-flat, laminated, four-color covers. Yes, it all cost us more to do it that way, but This is True is worth it! The books measure 5.5x8.5 inches, and are each 158 pages long. Each volume is just US$11 per copy.

You can order the books from most booksellers, though it's not likely you'll find them in stock. If you're in a hurry, you will almost certainly get them from us more quickly than at most any bookstore. Checks and money orders are fine if they are in U.S. dollars payable through a U.S. bank. Of course, we also accept Paypal, Mastercard, Visa, Discover, and American Express. We don't gouge you on shipping charges, either -- the idea is to cover average actual costs.

This is True books make a great gift. Our attention to quality makes your gifts all that more appreciated. The quality is so high, we've never had one returned under our better-than-risk-free satisfaction guaranteed policy! Also, don't forget that Premium subscribers get a 20% discount on books -- no limit! Your discount could pay for your Premium subscription. You may order discounted books at the same time you order a Premium subscription -- easiest is via our secure online web order page.
