How much will the book/s cost ?
This question is impossible to answer. You can expect to pay more for a book
through a Booksearch Service, than you would if you found the book yourself but
we do have access to the stock of thousands of dealers worldwide. As a very
rough guide, expect book prices to start at 10.00 GBP, but this depends entirely
on the supplier/s.
If price is a major consideration, you can specify a Maximum Price which you are
prepared to pay for any book. You can be assured that we will provide you with the
best quotation/s from the offers received.

How do I start a booksearch ?
Your first steps in aquiring an out of print book is to visit your local library to
confirm the details of the book/s that you require and then visit your local bookshops,
car boot sales, jumble sales, etc.,. We assume that you have already done these things
and that you have given up your search locally.
Your next step is to select a Booksearch Service.
We would emphasise that you should only request from one company at a time as this
will keep prices down and save a lot of wasted time and expence.
If you are unhappy with the first company or they are unsuccessful, cancel the
search with them and ask another company to begin a search for you.

Are there any charges ?
Most Booksearchers and Bookdealers will carry out searches without charge
so it is only good manners to notify them of your intentions.
Do not ignore any messages or correspondence. Have the decency
to reply to someone who is working for you without charge.

Are there any conditions ?
We will carry out a free booksearch for you on the condition that you notify us
immediately if you find the book elsewhere or the book is no longer required.
If we do not here from you to the contrary, we will assume that you agree to this condition.
