Terms of Business:
All prices are UK sterling, strictly nett, postage extra.
UK: C.W.O. new customers, C.O.R. others.
POSTAGE EXTRA: £2.00 for one book; £3.00 for 2 books; 3 or more books £4.00, but at cost if special instructions apply.
OVERSEAS: Pro-forma invoice.
POSTAGE and INSURANCE EXTRA AT COST. Books are sent on receipt of cleared funds, surface mail reduced rate unless instructed otherwise, although high value orders will be charged and sent airmail for insurance purposes. All payment must be in UK sterling.
Please telephone (7.30am to 9.00pm) to check availability before sending money.
Telephoning is the most efficient way to place your order - you will know immediately if the books you want are available, and you can make alternative choices if they are not. Fax is second best as I can deal with faxed orders as they come in, but please give alternatives in case some books are not available. Orders in writing should give alternatives, too, if possible - please quote your phone number, helpful for dealing with queries. Enclose an SAE if you want a reply, otherwise no reply means the books were not available. Although I am happy to accept orders by e-mail, please note that messages will only be picked up at intervals during the day, so this is not the best way to place urgent orders!
I can accept payment by VISA, MASTERCARD, JCB, SWITCH, SOLO and VISA DELTA.
