We prioritise public transport over any other form of travel. Our office is strategically located in Grantham, within easy reach by train of London, York, Edinburgh, and even Amsterdam and Paris. Neither of us drives or owns a car, so on the few occasions when we need to use a courier (e.g. for transporting our books to fairs), we hire an independent local man with van.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Shipping<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We always aim to find the best shipping solution for national and international orders, but also offer hand delivery at no extra charge whenever possible. We come through London, Cambridge, Oxford and other parts of the country on bibliophile errands on a regular basis, and can easily arrange meetings or drop off your books on these occasions. You are also welcome to visit our book room in Grantham to collect your orders.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Packing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We minimise the environmental impact of our packaging by pressing as much reclaimed material as possible into service. We will recycle anything that is in too poor a condition to be repurposed another time. Of course we will not compromise on safety: our books are packed well-padded and water tight, so they will survive the most calamitous of journeys intact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bags<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our cotton bags are produced by <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bidbi.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"BIDBI (Bag It Don\u2019t Bin It) (opens in a new tab)\">BIDBI (Bag It Don\u2019t Bin It)<\/a><\/strong>, a Sheffield-based company with a strong ethical commitment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Office<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We print as little as possible, always double-sided, and often (for internal use) on the versos of printed papers that would otherwise end up in the recycling bin.
