Ordering books from shops

Please note that Vernon Coleman books are no longer readily available in bookshops (terrestial or on line). This is because shops steadfastly refuse to carry stock (despite years of trying) and seem to prefer to order individual copies from us through wholesalers. If they want six copies they will send in six separate orders. The whole process is so tedious, time consuming and expensive that we have pretty well abandoned it. (The bookshop sends an order to a clearing house which sends the order to a wholesaler who sends the order to us. We then send the book to the wholesaler who then sends it to the bookshop. The buyer pays the bookshop who sometimes pays the wholesaler who then eventually pays us if we send an invoice and at least one or possibly two or more statements.) The environmental cost of all this sending and carrying is phenomenal. Time, energy and money is wasted.

The easy way to buy Vernon Coleman books is to send a cheque to Publishing House at the address on this page. Please allow 28 days for delivery. (We aim to do much better than this but 28 days allows for the Royal Mail to overcome delays caused by snow, rain, leaves, sunshine and the other entirely unexpected hazards by which it seems to be constantly surprised.)

How to order:

1. Make cheques or postal orders payable to `Publishing House'. Non UK customers should pay by sterling bank draft. Due to high bank charges we cannot accept foreign cheques. Eurocheques cannot be accepted because of banking restrictions. We cannot accept payment by credit card, debit card, Western Union or vegetables.

2. List the titles you require and please print your name and address.

3. Add £2 p&p per book in the UK and £3.00 per book to be sent outside the UK. (Please note that punitively high postal charges mean that books posted to destinations outside the UK will be sent by sea mail.) If you would like to have your book sent by airmail please add another £3.00 per book.

4. Post your order and cheque to:
Publishing House
Trinity Place
Barnstaple
