Taking Humour Seriously

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.

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. 'Signed for' £1.50 extra in
UK, "International Tracked and Signed' £5 extra for non-UK destinations. If you do not select either of these, books will go by
normal royal mail 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.

Orders usually shipped on Wednesdays. Shipping costs are based on books weighing
2.2 LB, or 1 KG. If your book order is heavy or oversized, we may contact you to
let you know extra shipping is required.
