Postage and packing extra at cost.
Books will be sent cheapest way possible (Royal Mail 2nd class post or parcel post). If you wish your books to be sent registered or recorded delivery (and fully insured if value is over £20), please state this at time of ordering as this will cost extra. This is advisable on more expensive books for additional piece of mind. Please note: Standard (cheapest) posting now only carries a maximum compensation of £20 in many cases for consequential loss. In the rare event of a book (s) being lost in transit, I can only refund if the item(s) are correctly insured to cover their retail value as an original invoice stating this has to be submitted to Royal Mail confirming that value as part of any claim. For customers ordering for the first time, orders will only be sent fully insured and signed for. Proof of posting is always obtained. All books will be securely packaged, individually bubble wrapped, and jiffy bagged or boxed, dependant on quantity.

Payment can be made by: credit card (through paypal, just click the link on the e.mail i'll send you confirming your order)Please make all payments in sterling. Please remember if ordering from overseas that any import duties incurred are payable by the customer.

Orders will normally be despatched within 2 working days of cleared payment.

All books are described as accurately as possible, if a book is found not as described (please refer to 'a note on condition' description notes for full explanation of condition terms), please email/ phone first before returning the item for refund. The final conditional note to each item gives an overall general condition of the book, based on contents and binding. any crucial defects not easily discernable from the final conditional note are specifically noted (again please see 'a note on condition').

No books sent on approval, trade welcome, usual trade terms after 14 days of site posting in each case.
