Tobacco Monopoly analyzes the mechanics of one of the most durable of Spanish colonial innovations and explores the effects it had on the lives of the indigenous population. By focusing on the development of the enterprise in the Cagayan Valley, where tobacco played an important part in the economy and in the society, the book combines institutional and regional history. Tobacco Monopoly shows how this bureaucratic enterprise, in operation for nearly a hundred years, first served and later undermined the economic and political objectives of the colonial government.

FAQs

Where do you ship from?

We ship from two locations, Manila and New Jersey. Your books are always sent from wherever they are currently in stock. If an order includes books from both locations, we usually combine everything into one shipment to reduce packing waste. If you would prefer items to be sent separately, just let us know. We are happy to accommodate.

You can read our shipping policy here.

What are your shipping options?

For books shipping from New Jersey, we offer USPS Media Mail, USPS Ground Advantage, and USPS Priority Mail. For non US addresses, we ship via DHL.

For books shipping from Manila to the US, you can choose between two options.

Express: Your book ships directly to you via DHL. This is the fastest option.

No Rush: Your book is included in our regular shipment from Manila to NJ. Once it arrives in NJ, we ship it to you right away via USPS. This option takes longer but helps keep shipping costs lower.

For non US addresses, we ship via the Express option.

How can I reduce my shipping fee?

One important thing to know is that we do not make any profit on shipping. We simply charge what our couriers charge us. Because we ship in bulk, we often receive discounted rates, and we pass those savings directly on to you. Our goal is always to get your books to you as affordably and responsibly as possible.

If you are ever unsure which option to choose, or if timing matters for a specific order, please reach out. We're happy to help.

What is your return policy?

If you are not satisfied with your purchase, we will be pleased to issue store credit within 14 days of order fulfillment.

  • Sale items and gift cards are final sale.
  • We do not give refunds except in cases where we have made an error. If we made a mistake, we will rectify the error and refund reasonable return shipping expenses you incur. 
  • If you wish to cancel your online order for any reason, you will receive store credit, not a refund.
