How to Buy Sub Rosa from I Saw That! (isawthat.com)

Updated

You can buy Sub Rosa directly from isawthat.com by adding it to your cart on the site and completing the order through the site's checkout page, where PayPal is listed as a payment option. The homepage shows a "Your cart (items: 0)" indicator and a "Go to checkout" link, so the purchase path runs through the site's own cart rather than an external marketplace. The site does not publish a price on the pages reviewed here, so confirm the amount and any shipping details at checkout before paying.

What the site tells you about the product

The homepage presents Sub Rosa as a book by Ariel Frailich about a switch of small objects used in magic performance, supported by endorsements from Matthew Field, Nick Lewin, and David Regal. A "More info" link and a "Shop" entry sit alongside the cart, which is where you would look for the item listing and any format or edition details.

Steps to place an order

  1. Open isawthat.com and use the Shop link (or the "More info" link near the Sub Rosa description) to reach the product page.
  2. Add Sub Rosa to your cart. The header cart counter should change from "items: 0" to reflect the addition.
  3. Open the cart and select Go to checkout (the checkout link points to isawthat.com/checkout/).
  4. Enter your delivery and contact details, then choose PayPal as the payment method when prompted.
  5. Review the order summary — item, price, shipping, and total — and confirm payment.

Expected result: an order confirmation from the site and a PayPal receipt for the charge.

What to verify before paying

  • Price and shipping: not shown in the material reviewed, so read the checkout summary carefully rather than assuming a figure.
  • Currency: the site is set to English (Canada), which may affect how prices and shipping are displayed; check the currency shown at checkout.
  • Account requirement: the pages reviewed don't state whether an account is needed; if guest checkout isn't offered, you'll be asked to register during the process.
  • Digital vs. physical: the site doesn't specify on the reviewed pages whether Sub Rosa ships as a printed book, an ebook, or both — confirm this on the product page before ordering if it matters to you.

Common snags

  • Cart appears empty after adding an item: reload the page and check the counter in the header before proceeding to checkout.
  • PayPal not appearing: payment options are usually shown after entering delivery details; if PayPal still isn't offered, stop before submitting payment and contact the site through its newsletter/contact channel rather than entering card details elsewhere.
  • Unsure which item variant you selected: return to the cart from checkout and confirm the line item matches Sub Rosa before paying.

If you'd rather not buy online

The homepage also links to a Blog, an Index of posts by category, Exhibits, and a Newsletter sign-up. These are useful for reading about the book and the author's work first, but they are not a purchase route — ordering still goes through the Shop and checkout.
