To save on postage (which is a flat rate no matter how many books you order), you may choose to add books to your basket throughout the conference, then check out at the end of the conference. As long as you keep using the same computer (or Log in to your bookshop.org account) the books should remain in your basket until you decide to check out.

If you can't find an author's book on this list, that doesn't necessarily mean it is out of print. Please get in touch with NCBC directly via phone (01263761402) or email ([email protected]) and we will let you know if we can order it for you.
