If any of the reviews here tempt you to purchase items, your first port of call should be to the publisher or author's website if they have one. If their website doesn't have ordering information or the publisher doesn't have a website then consider sending a good old-fashioned snail-mail letter to their postal address. Whilst books carrying an ISBN can usually be ordered through various online bookstores, you will usually find that the cost of delivery is considerable. Such bookstores will in most cases obtain the book from the publisher at a hefty discount. You will mostly be able to obtain the book much quicker by dealing directly. This is especially true of the small presses who really cannot afford the discounts demanded by bookstores, some of which (not all) take a long time to pay their supplier. Where prices are quoted, these are in the currency of the country in which the books are published, unless specifically stated otherwise. RoW means "rest of world" but what that includes will depend on where the book is originally published. Note: price may or may not include postage — if in doubt, check with the publishers (not us). Whilst there is a small risk when sending cash through the post, most small press editors will accept payment, especially from abroad, in currency, particularly US dollars, sterling notes and euros, as these are readily exchangeable almost everywhere, whereas bank charges make the changing of small cheques totally uneconomic. |
