Order with confidence 

You can purchase books by adding them to shopping basket. Look for the BUY NOW icon to add the title to the shopping basket. This icon appears when browsing the categories, as well as in the search results. In the book details page, you can also specify how many copies you want, though there is always the option to change quantities on the view basket page.

The shopping basket will carry your items around while you browse the website until you choose to checkout. For a running total of how many items you have in the basket and a running subtotal (without P+P and applicable discounts), click on the view basket link at the top right hand side of the screen. Clicking on this at any stage will bring up the Basket page.
