Buying books online
– our terms of trade
After selecting all the books you wish to purchase in the Hard to Find Online Bookstore, you can pay by:
- Credit card (preferred method of payment).
We accept Mastercard, Visa and Amex
- Direct bank deposit (we will contact you with bank account details and shipping costs).
If you pay by credit card, you can choose to:
- Authorise payment immediately and we’ll work out shipping costs and add them to the purchase total (minimum shipping cost within New Zealand is $6)
- or you can request shipping costs and authorise payment after you’ve checked them.
Books are sent by economy post unless you specifically arrange something else with us. Books will not be dispatched until full payment (for books and shipping) is received.
As our stock list is displayed across a number of international sites, we can't guarantee your chosen item(s) will still be in stock at the time of ordering. We will contact you if your item is no longer in stock and you will only be charged for the items that are in stock.
Returns policy
All stock is returnable within seven days of receipt if it does not match the description. Please check the description carefully!

Pristine - as one would expect to find in the publisher’s warehouse
Very slight fault or two, such as light rubbing. As good or better than you would expect to find in a new bookstore
Minor faults - at a glance as good as you’d expect to find in a new bookshop, but at closer inspection showing some signs of wear
Moderate faults but still looking essentially sound and tidy. Appears secondhand not new
Some obvious faults detracting from the attractiveness of the book
Damaged but still a good reading copy
Good that it exists, but it is certainly damaged and may be incomplete

"These are not books, lumps of lifeless paper, but minds alive on the shelves. From each of them goes out its
own voice... and just
as the touch of a button on our set will fill the room with music, so
by taking down one
of these volumes and opening it, one can call into range the voice of a man far distant in time and space, and hear him speaking to us, mind to mind,
heart to heart."-Gilbert Highet
