General information

All books with dustjackets will have an archival quality clear mylar protective wrap supplied before shipping, at no extra cost. We take pride in the quality of our packaging, and have had very few problems with damage in transit. Mail is sent out every weekday, so books usually arrive quite quickly - UK orders frequently arrive within 24 hours. Postage and packing is charged at cost - the amounts shown at the checkout are based on average book weights, and if your book weighs less than average we will reduce the charge. Heavier than average books may be subject to a higher charge, but we will never charge more than the amount shown without asking for your agreement, and heavy books are invariably described as such, so please ask before ordering.
