Search Tips:
The way you search will affect your success rate. Firstly check
your spelling, then try some of these tips before trying again:
Title Search:
- Try searching one or two keywords from the book title rather
than trying to guess the exact full title. For example search
on 'snowy' rather than 'the man from snowy river'
- Multiple words such as "Stress Testing" will return "Pulmonary
Function Testing and Cardiopulmonary Stress Testing".
- Using partial words like "test" for "testing" will not work.
Top of Page
Description Search:
- A description search looks in the product's description for
words that match your request.
- Try to search one word at a time such as 'soccer', as multiple
words such as 'soccer rules' must appear immediately next to each
other or they will not be found.
Author Search:
- Using the first few letters of a name will usually return the
whole name.
For Example : An author search for "shak, william" will return
"Shakespeare, William".
- Try searching on author surname only, then if you have too many
listing add their first initial. For example, 'lawson' and then
'h lawson' for all Henry Lawson books.

How to Buy
We have made every effort to make buying a book from our store
as simple as possible. Use the search facility to look up a book
and once you have found a title in the format you want to buy, click
on the title and you will be taken to a page devoted to that title.
To place your order, Click on "Add to Bag". Once you have placed
the item in your bag, you can choose to "Proceed to Checkout" or
"Continue Shopping".
Checkout
When you click on "Checkout", you can review your purchases and
if necessary, make changes to your order.
If you decide you don't want to buy a particular title and want
to take an item out of your shopping bag, click on the "Delete"
button next to the title.
If you want to change the number of copies you want to buy of a
particular title, highlight the number in the "Quantity" box by
left-clicking on your mouse, type in the number of copies you now
require, and Click on the "Update Bag" button.
When you are happy with your order and are ready to purchase your
items, Click on the "Proceed to Checkout" button.

in future without having to type in your personal details again.

procedure. Simply select the wrap of your choice and we’ll do the
rest. If you want, we’ll even include a personal message.
Please note that if you have multiple items within your order and
you require gift-wrapping, all items have to be gift-wrapped. We
do not offer item by item gift-wrapping within a single order.
