If one or more items in your order will be a gift, please let us know when checking out, and we will make sure not to add an invoice. You are also welcome to let us know if you would like us to include a special, customised message with your parcel.

All orders placed before 18:00 on a working day are despatched the next working day unless otherwise advised. Orders placed after 18:00 on a working day will be despatched within the next two working days. The shipping fee is calculated at check-out based on parcel weight and destination. A tracking number will be provided once the order is ready for despatch.

If you order items from our site for international delivery, please note that your order may be subject to import duties and taxes which are applied when the delivery reaches your destination. Please note that we have no control over these charges and we cannot predict their amount. You will be solely responsible for payment of any such import duties and taxes.

We do our best to describe items as accurately as possible. All our books can be returned within 14 days of receipt, whether they have been found to be not-as-described or you have simply changed your mind about the purchase. Returns are only free when items have been found to be not as described. Please see our Terms and Conditions for more details.

Should you prefer to know these additional charges and pay them in advance, you are welcome to purchase from us via eBay, our marketplace site. This way, you will be able to pay all postage, taxes and import charges upfront at check-out, so you will not have to worry about any extra charges or additional paperwork when your items are delivered. However, please note the eBay estimations tend to be higher than what your courier would normally charge, and our items' prices are also slightly higher in order to reflect the fees that eBay charge us. If you visit our eBay shop and cannot find the edition you are looking for, please feel free to write to us and let us know which; we'll do our best to help.

If you have any questions about this book, please send us a message or write to us at hello@sanchosrarebooks.co.uk, and we will make sure to get back to you as soon as possible with further information. Please do mention to which edition you are referring in your message, either by name or by including a direct link to our listing.

We take great care in pricing our books fairly from the outset and while we very much appreciate your interest, please note that in most cases we do not accept offers for our existing stock. We do review prices periodically and reduce when appropriate, so if something is of interest but not quite within budget, it is always worth keeping an eye on it, as it may be reduced later.
