The prices of titles which I order from NHBS are sometimes higher or lower than the prices quoted in your web, email and print catalogues. Most price changes come about because publishers frequently increase their prices. Other ups and downs are usually caused by variations in shipping rates and currency fluctuations. If the price of a particular title is significantly higher than previously announced, we check if you still wish to receive the item in question before proceeding to despatch. Delays in publication are common in publishing, which is very frustrating for us and for you.
Most delays happen because authors don t deliver to publishers on schedule.
It sometimes seems to take a long time for NHBS to obtain non-commercial publications. But supply can be slow, mainly because many societies and NGOs are run by dedicated volunteers who handle paperwork and packing in their spare time. I m going to Costa Rica next month. Yes, we can. I need to know if a particular title is suitable for my requirements.
