This
page
lists a selection
of new books at bargain prices, from sources such as publishers'
remainders
and overstocks, and is usually
updated early in each month.
The books
listed on this
page are offered at well under their recommended retail prices, but
they
are new and in as good a condition as you would find in a shop. They
may
show the kind of minor imperfections you would find in any shop-bought
copy, but unless stated otherwise, they are offered as free of major
defects. Please state if
ordering
as a gift and you will be advised in the unlikely event of the item not
being in a suitable condition.
Most of
these books are
available only in limited quantities so they are offered subject to
availability.
They are offered by medievalbookshop only in the formats and editions
stated: hardbacks have dustjackets except where stated otherwise. "In
print"
prices have been obtained from the publisher or a reputable on-line
retailer
such as Amazon: these are current retail prices
recommended by the publishers and may differ from any prices printed on
the books themselves; a title is assumed to be out of print if no
current
price can be found readily. Books listed as "bargain price reprint" or
similar may have a higher price printed on them, but have usually been
specifically issued for sale at the lower "bargain" price and may not
have
been offered elsewhere at the higher price. Any of the books listed on
this page may be available in different editions or at different prices
from other dealers.
The
descriptions of each
book's content are taken from the publishers' blurbs or web sites and
do
not represent independent opinions.
See also
the shop
returns page which offers single copies of books stamped as
"damaged"
- usually they have little wrong with them and provide some excellent
bargains!
You can use
the contact links
at the top of this page at any time with any queries you may have.

Attic includes a number of other unused books that are only
