These dates are our best estimates, based on our print partners' published production times and Royal Mail's last posting dates. We check them weekly from mid-November and update this page. Postal delays in December are outside our control, so please order early if you can. If we think we can't make Christmas for your order, we'll tell you before we start and offer a gift certificate or a refund.
Delivery charges
UK delivery is included in the price. For now we sell to customers in the United Kingdom only, and we can post only to UK addresses (checkout won't accept an address outside the UK). Prices are in pounds sterling.
Where it comes from
Books and prints are made on demand by professional print partners and posted direct to the delivery address you give at checkout. That can be the recipient's address.
