Greetings Another catalogue! – but it may be the last! WOULD EVERYONE RECEIVING THIS PLEASE GET IN TOUCH, EVEN IF NOT ORDERING ANYTHING, SO THAT I CAN ASSESS YOUR CATALOGUE NEEDS. The response to catalogues has diminished again since the last one and I have restricted the size, particularly of the main sections. And I offer again a 10% discount for orders of 5 or more hard-backs. The following are my usual conditions. This catalogue is NOT a complete stock list. Although the “Books in Series”section shows all titlesI in stock, the main book categories show only a small selection of my much bigger stocks (visible on my website).I also have duplicates of some of those listed, usually less fine and at lower prices. I am always pleased to welcome visitors to Helpston, preferably by prior appointment a day or so beforehand. Messages can be left on my answering system when I'm not available or by e-mail. Except where otherwise stated, books listed are 8vo or thereabouts, are not illustrated and have dust-wrappers. The main catalogue reference numbers are all new - if requesting books from older catalogues please quote the date. (The “UBN” numbers quoted - unique book numbers - always stay with the same title – they are used mainly for our system reference.) TERMS; Please order without sending payment. A Proforma Invoice will be sent showing which books are available and the postage costs, which are charged "at cost". Please pay on receipt of Proforma - books will be sent immediately on receipt of payment. POSTAGE RATES; Unless otherwise requested books will be sent; within the UK - by whichever service offers the best price and reliability.. OVERSEAS CUSTOMERS - kindly advise whether air or surface postage is required so that I can quote accordingly. Despatches are insured but I need fairly prompt advice if things seem to be lost. PAYMENT; UK personal cheques & postal orders are welcome. I have no facilities for direct credit card payments (but credit cards can be used if paying via PayPal, using my e-mail address). OVERSEAS CUSTOMERS - if sending foreign currency cheques over £50 please add £4 towards exchange costs or £9 for orders over £100. ( No exchange charges at present for foreign cheques under £50 equivalent.) You are advised not to send cash, even if registered . Cheques payable to “Brian Cocks”. Please adress Paypal payments to briancocks101@btinternet.com. CONDITION OF BOOKS; I try to adhere to convention in describing condition. If any item fails to satisfy on this account I shall be pleased to receive it back & refund payment; please, however, advise any such case within 7 days of receipt. BOOKS WANTED; I am currently buying only the rarer items but please enquire. NEW LISTS;- Printing and postage costs cause me to limit posting catalogues to customers who have made regular or substantial orders. (I can produce, on request, the small lists of Aeromodelling, Air Power, Fiction, Meteorology & Aero-medical books for those who cannot see the website). WEBSITE my website is at <www.aviationbookhouse.co.uk> It contains almost all my current stock of aviation books and magazines including those on the “sub-catalogues” on modelling etc. and is more comprehensive than this catalogue as it contains books unsold from the last catalogue as well as new stock. Also, sold books are regularly deleted from it. IF YOU CAN ACCESS MY WEBSITE AND THEREFORE DON’T NEED THESE PRINTED CATALOGUES PLEASE TELL ME! - MANY THANKS PLEASE DO NOT SEND MONEY FOR MORE CATALOGUES – I am constantly assessing how to provide the information to those of you who are not computerised but cannot at present guarantee to send more.
