How do I buy items from Ardis Books?

First search to see if we have the item you are looking for, check the description, then contact us at RNewbury@ardis.co.uk with the stock number of the item required so that we can reserve it for you. Then check our ordering page to go ahead and purchase.
You can also buy directly online. Items are priced with four options for delivery to various parts of the world. Simply choose the option that applies to you, and follow the instructions. This secure facility is provided by Paypal, but you do not need a Paypal account to use it. It is restricted to items found through our search database, as this is updated each night. The static catalogues displayed are updated less frequently, although if you find an item you want you can then search for it using the search button (to check availability) and order online that way.

How do I sell items to Ardis Books?

Take a look at our buying page to see if we are looking for the items you have for sale. Check the description against our gradings, as condition is very important to value, then contact us at RNewbury@ardis.co.uk with as much detail as you can about the items for sale. It helps to have a rough price in mind - we will make the best offer if we are interested.

How do I tell if a book is a first edition?

Take a look at our item about first editions. This explains how to tell most first editions by looking at the opening few pages of a book.
