Prices

Unlike most mail order goods, there is no tax (VAT) on books in Great Britain. Therefore, the price to you is the same, whether you are in Great Britain or any other country. The prices of a few items on this website, particularly DVDs, are shown as VAT-inclusive,; however, the amount of the VAT will be deducted for overseas purchasers who are not required to pay it.

Overseas orders are nearly always posted by air mail. But please ask if air mail is essential, and we will advise if there might be an additional cost.

The postal charges above are applied automatically to every website order, but must be added for orders by phone or post.

Despatch
We normally despatch orders within 2 working days of receipt of order, but occasionally it may take longer. We will advise you if despatch will take more than 10 days. If you have ordered more than one item, they may be despatched separately, but you still pay only the one postage charge.

Goods exported from the UK

We cannot accept liability for any additional charges that may be imposed once the package has left the United Kingdom. On delivery, you may have to pay customs duty, import duty, tax or administration charges (including on orders within Europe). We cannot advise on these possible additional charges, so before you order, you should check with the authorities in the country of receipt.
