Book Store

The committee feels that it is time that the Society moved with the times and placed its sales stock on its website so that anyone can make purchases, not just members at meetings and visitors at sales events. Therefore you will find a list of books which we have for sale, many at discounted prices. All our books are new, not secondhand, and any defects are mentioned in the descriptions. For most titles there is only one copy available. Additional titles will be added continuously.

We have arranged that payment can be made via PayPal, where the Society has opened an account. You do not need to have a PayPal account yourself but can use the system to pay using your own credit card. Books will be sent for a flat fee of 50p to UK addresses (£1 for large heavy books). For overseas sales please send a message to the Secretary using the following link to obtain a postage quotation.
