What do the ICONS on your website mean?

Our website features a number of ICONS - these are used to provide customer with quick visual information about the book/s.

  • BARGAIN - A great range of substantially reduced books often in as new condition.
  • IN PRINT - A new book that is available and still in print.
  • OUT OF STOCK - More copies of this book are on their way so please place your order.
  • SPECIAL ORDER - This title is not held in stock but we are happy to supply on special order.
  • CANCELLED - Publication abandoned.
  • FORTHCOMING - This title is forthcoming, place your pre-publication order now.
  • SOLD - This item has been sold, please contact us if you would like to join the waiting list.

Some of the books on your website are not available to Add to Cart, instead they have a REQUEST ITEM button. Why are these books different?

Request Item books are classic and hard-to-come-by secondhand books for which we have long waiting lists for copies. As such, they rarely make it onto our website for sale. So that customers are able to add their name to the waiting list for these books, we list them online as request items. The copies you see on the website are not in stock or available to purchase. They are 'generic' entries we list for requesting purposes only. Once your name has been added to the waiting list we will contact you directly when a copy becomes available and your request is the next in line. It is always worthwhile responding to these offers promptly to ensure you secure the book.
