How to Buy Ellen Steinbaum's Books: Titles, Prices, and Ordering Path
Updated
You can buy Ellen Steinbaum's books directly from her website, ellensteinbaum.com, where five titles are listed with prices and each links to a detail page. The site shows PayPal as a payment option. The homepage does not spell out the full checkout sequence, so the practical path is: open a book's detail page, confirm the title and price, then follow the purchase link shown there. Prices below are as listed on the site and may change.
Books Listed on the Site
| Title | Price listed |
|---|---|
| Leavings | $18.00 |
| This Next Tenderness | $18.00 |
| Brightness Falls | $18.00 |
| Container Gardening | $18.00 |
| Afterwords | $10.00 |
Each title on the homepage includes a "Read more about [title] here" link. Use those links to check the book's description before buying, especially if you are choosing between titles rather than buying a specific one.
How to Place an Order
- Go to ellensteinbaum.com and find the Books section on the homepage.
- Pick a title and select its "Read more" link to open the detail page.
- Confirm the title and the price shown there.
- Follow the purchase option on that page and complete payment. PayPal is the payment platform identified on the site.
Expected result: you reach a confirmation for the specific title at the listed price. If a detail page does not show a working purchase option, the site does not provide an alternate ordering channel in the material reviewed, so treat that title as not directly orderable at that moment.
Choosing Between the Titles
The listing itself gives you price and title only, so use these conditions:
- Lowest cost / shortest commitment: Afterwords at $10.00 is the least expensive entry point.
- Most recent work: The author describes Leavings as her most recent book and frames it around how we live in the context of past and future moments. Start here if you want her current focus.
- Four books at the same price: Leavings, This Next Tenderness, Brightness Falls, and Container Gardening are all $18.00, so price does not separate them. Read each detail page and choose by subject rather than cost.
What Else the Site Offers
Beyond the shop, the homepage collects Readings and Writings—recorded and published appearances, including a First and Last Word Poetry Series reading and an email interview—plus a Poem of the moment feature. These are free to browse and useful if you want a sample of the writing before spending $10–$18 on a book. The site also credits the photographer for the homepage image and the designers of the Afterwords cover, which helps confirm you are on the author's own site rather than a reseller listing.
