We have now relocated all stock to Somerset and with over 5000 books on the shelves we hope to be available to answer your queries and locate that difficult to find title, as well as the regular in print items.
If you have any wants not available on our web site please ask as we may have it or can locate a copy for you. We are also always interested in acquiring whole or part libraries.
ORDERS: These can be placed using this website shopping basket, by email, fax, letter, or telephone. If phoning on occasion an answering machine will be in operation; it's the only way to provide an international 24 hour service. Messages left will be dealt with promptly.
Whilst every attempt is made to ensure that prices shown in this catalogue are up to date our web site, and thus this catalogue, is not a completely dynamic link to our catalogue database. Consequently the prices shown may occasionally not reflect the latest publisher's increase or more recently acquired out of print and antiquarian stock. If a discrepancy arises with any order we will always check with you before despatch.
PAYMENT: We accept UK bank cheque (made payable to Shentonbooks, and backed by a bankers card) or payment by credit or debit cards, Access, Visa, Switch, Delta, Mastercard, American Express. Please remember to provide card number, start date, expiry date and issue number.
Due to excessive bank charges associated with processing of cheques drawn against overseas banks we cannot unfortunately accept payment by cheque from Banks outside the UK. In such circumstances the electronic card payments set out above are recommended, or payment in Euros notes sent by secure post.
