Harrowden Books

Please note that due to a technical issue our stock search facility currently connects to our amazon.co.uk page where our books can be ordered securely. This facility will also allow the purchasing of books from other vendors (the sale of which we cannot take responsibilty for). This fault is hoped to be fixed soon. If you would rather we checked our stock for you personally then please telephone or email Mike Sumner on the above number. We can search our database here and check our shelves for an immediate answer. Credit/Debit card details can be taken over the phone.
