Terms of Sale

All items are the property of Porcupine Books until fully paid for.

I can accept payment in Sterling, cheques, Postal Orders etc., in the business name or my own name, or in US Dollars in my own name. I can also accept Mastercard and Visa Credit Card payments and Maestro or Solo Debit Cards.

I believe that when offering books for sale on the Internet one is obliged to describe all the faults, as the purchaser has no opportunity to see them. Even the use of photographs or scans can inadvertently mislead. All terms used must be subjective and therefore ambiguous, the best a seller can do is to convey a sense of the book's condition to the purchaser, relative to an ideal. I try not to make any allowance for the age of a book, which regrettably can make an older book sound poor, when it is probably a nice copy.

All books are returnable within two weeks for a full refund provided they are in the same condition as when sent.

Postage is charged at cost and there is no charge for packing

Books are securely packed in 2 layers of bubble-wrap and protective envelope. For large orders/items, cardboard may be used in place of the protective envelope.
