There are a growing list of titles about the USS Caperton available that have been reprinted by The Caperton Society. All books currently offered are reprints of original editions, some of which were donated by former sailors of the Caperton for reprinting. Purchase of these books is currently only available online. You may use any major credit card or your paypal account. It is important to note that all transactions occur on the PayPal secure website and NOT on Caperton Society Servers. No one from the Caperton Society or this website will ever see or handle your credit card information. Instead we are simply notified when the funds have been transferred into the Society Account and ship the book(s) at that time. Orders typically are mailed out within 2-3 business days of receipt and are shipped USPS Priority Mail which is a 2-3 day delivery time frame. See our Return Policy Here. We would like to Gratefully acknowledge the work done by The Caperton Society enabling the availability of these reprints.

While I would prefer that it be purchased thru the paypal button on the page, I realize that not everyone is able/willing to do that. Therefore, IF you are a former sailor of the USS Caperton, and would like to pay by check, please email me at donald@caperton.info and I will send you details on where to send the check.
