From the author's preface to this second edition..
"When this book was first published in 1933 the Reviewer in The Field suggested that Chichester and Langston Harbours should be added in any future edition. His views were shared by many other yachtsmen, and so in this second edition the scope of the book has been extented to include these Harbours. .
The opportunity has been taken of revising the whole of the original chapters. Changes are most notable in the Fareham and Portchester Creeks chapters."

From the author's preface..
"The reception by yachtsmen of my earlier book Creeks and Harbours of the Solent, which has been revised or reprinted six times, has encouraged me to write this companion volume, which takes the yachtsman along the British coast as far as Portland, and across the English Channel to the Channel Islands and the adjacent coasts of France as far as St. Malo.

The information and photographs were obtained over a period of eight years in which some fifty crossings of the English Channel were made each way. . . . "

I do not charge for packaging.
My stated postage prices are an estimate.
If you are interested in a book on my site I will package it and weigh it and quote the true postage cost if less than estimated, or stand by my estimate if it is more.
Estimated postage costs are usually based on Royal Mail First class prices for UK on items valued at less than £39 but extra costs may be involved with more expensive items. Outside the UK postage costs are for basic Royal Mail Airmail.
Any preferences concerning postage/delivery by the purchaser will always be considered.

My returns policies

If you wish to return a book please let me know as soon as possible but no later than three days after receipt. 
If you feel, and I agree after we have discussed it, that my description was misleading or inaccurate then, upon the receipt of the book in the condition you received it, I will then refund all your payment plus your return postage. 
If the book isn't what you really wanted and if we agree, then, upon my receipt of the book in the condition you received it, I will then refund your bid price.

I have found, so far, that the majority of my buyers are genuine. For my part I try and describe the books as fairly as possible - I am not a professional - and do not like buyers to feel dissatisfied. 

I am happy to pack together multiple buys made within a seven day period and post at cost as long as total value of purchases in the packet does not exceed the Royal Mail's built in compensation, which at the moment is £39.00.
