CHESS BOOKS

UK customers: Pre-payment can be made by cheque (payable to Tony Peterson) or bank transfer. Paypal is also possible for smaller orders, and of course cash or postal orders are welcome.

Non-UK customers: Pre-payment is preferred by bank transfer, Paypal, Postal Money Order, or cash for small amounts.

Postage costs: Postage is charged at cost. Books are usually sent by second class post (unless first requested) or courier service if over 2kg. For non-UK orders the royal mail airmail printed paper service is used, unless over 2kg in which case I will usually quote a courier service such as UPS or Hermes.

All books can be returned for a full refund if found to be not as described.
