Terms and Conditions of Sale

  1. Prices are Nett – Postage is added automatically at cost when you place an order.
  2. Books may be returned within 21 days of receipt if they do not match their description or are incomplete, unless so stated in their description on the website. If you need to return a book for either of these reasons, please contact us in the first instance.  If books are returned for either of these valid reasons, return carriage will be credited.
  3. Standard abbreviations used on the website are as follows: Mint – a new book; Fine – almost like new; Very Good (V.G.) – a cared-for second-hand book; Good (G.) – a book showing signs of use; Reading Copy – text complete but otherwise defective; Insc – Inscribed with the name of the previous owner; D/w – dustwrapped. Though these descriptors are well established, they are to a point subjective, so we will do our best to describe books as accurately as possible.
  4. All books listed are hardbacks unless stated otherwise.
  5. Where a publication date is shown in brackets it means the date is not printed in the book itself.
  6. Please allow up to 21 days for U.K. delivery – most items will be delivered much more quickly, but it may just be that John is away climbing! In the latter case, you will be kept informed of any delays to despatch.
  7. For EU customers, your order may be subject to extra charges on arrival in your own country – any such charges levied will be your responsibility and books may not be released to you until such charges have been paid.
  8. Delivery times for overseas customers, either in the EU or worldwide, can vary from days to a number of weeks. Where possible, we will provide information on likely delivery but cannot guarantee delivery dates.  To obtain updated information on postal delays worldwide – CLICK HERE
