Once you have paid for your book it will be despatched to you on the next available posting day. My aim is to get your book to you promptly and above all safely, without damage. Books are firstly wrapped in strong protective bubble wrap before being mailed in a bespoke card book mailer , for the majority of books.Large volumes and sets will be mailed in very strong hand cut card boxes. Being a bibliophile myself I completely understand what a precious item a book is, and I understand therefore how to handle a book carefully and treat it with the reverence it deserves.
Not resident in England, Scotland, Wales & Northern Ireland. From UK buyers only I will also accept Personal Cheques and Postal Orders. If paying by either of these methods your package will take a little longer to reach you as it will be despatched only when funds clear. If anything in my condition ratings I will tend to down rate a book rather than run the risk of being misleading. The customer will remain responsible for the cost of returning the item.FINE (F): Approaches the above, but not crisp.
