We’ve been writing and publishing walking guide books since 2008. From the outset, we’ve tried to make the process of buying our guides as simple as possible. This has meant our guide books have never increased in price and have always been sold in ’round pounds’ (e.g. £10) rather than the more tradition ‘penny off the pound’ pricing (e.g. £9.99).

Part of that commitment to simplicity has been to offer free, First Class postage on all orders! Our guides are typically posted on the same day they are ordered and, subject to the occasional vagaries of the postal system, arrive the next postal delivery day.

When we posted our first orders, back in 2008, the cost of sending a book to a customer was 78p, as of October 2024, that cost has risen to an astonishing £3.50!

We want to continue to make our books as cost-effective as we can, and as such, we will continue to add just £1 to orders of less than £30. However, we will now send all orders using Second Class postage, which is normally delivered in two to three working days, unless you choose First Class postage at checkout.

We hope you understand this change in policy, and we apologise for having to add to the cost of your books and for adding a delay in their arrival.
