Arete 43 Spring / Summer 2014

Mail order ONLY (we do not have a shop). All types of books, especially on law,
art, sport, science and transport, but by no means exclusively. Before listing
any book we check other comparable examples available with internet booksellers,
to make sure ours cannot be beaten on price and condition.

ORDERS UNDER £10 WILL BE SENT IMMEDIATELY WITHOUT PAYMENT IF YOU AGREE TO SEND
PAYMENT AS SOON AS YOUR ORDER ARRIVES.
UK customers: Cash, Postal Order or cheque payable to R. P. GERARD . No credit
cards, except via PayPal to sales@longlandbooks.co.uk.
Non-UK customers: Cash (most currencies accepted) for the value of the book(s)
and postage, plus £2 surcharge for bank charges, and all rounded up or down to
the nearest banknote. No cash has gone missing yet - it's a lot less risky than
you might think! Or....US dollar checks accepted but with $17 surcharge to cover
iniquitous bank clearance charges.Or....Ask a friend with a UK bank account to
issue a Sterling cheque. Credit cards are accepted only through Abebooks e-
commerce or PayPal.

The cost of postage naturally depends on where you are and what you want - I
will advise what your options are, but will not try make a profit on this and I
will supply appropriate packaging free of charge. Recorded delivery 74p extra in
UK, £3 for non-UK destinations. This provides insurance up to £50. Registered
post available at cost. If you do not select either of these, books will go by
airmail or first class in the UK and a certificate of posting will be kept. For
large orders please ask for a parcel quote.

PLEASE NOTE: I will not send surface mail to the USA, unless you absolutely
insist. It takes months and I have better uses for my time than fending off
erroneous complaints about lost books. I'd also advise americans not to use
surface mail when buying from other booksellers.

If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
