Black Tower Comics and Books -NO International Shipping:all local

 


To make it clear: 

1.  if you order a book from the online store it does not involve international shipping. Books are printed in your region -that's how print on demand works.  

2.  The price of the book should be shown in your own currency.

3.  Obviously your local postal rates apply and there are options for tracked, special delivery and untracked (the least expensive) postage from within your region.

Ordered in your region, printed in your region and delivered by the postal system in your region.  It could not be more simple.

One important thing to note is that third party sellers will state "post free" and that is a lie. You often pay 30-75% more on a book ordered through a third party seller than from the online store. The reason is because the third party seller HAS to buy from the online store and the selling price usually covers two postal payments -0from store to them and then to you.  

People have purchased from third party sellers and not gotten their books or have had to wait over a month for them to arrive. At that point they contact me and it is all very simple: they tried to rob me of a sale and bought a book at a far more expensive price because they read "post free". That is important because if you buy from a third party seller you are removing the small profit I make on a book. Also, ordering from the online store is not just cheaper but, even though it has never happened since I started selling in 2009,  I can actually look into why you have not had your book delivered. Third party seller -your tough luck.

Support the creator and publisher not third party scammers.


I have asked to clarify which countries books can be ordered from as I know someone in Hong Kong and China were interested and it looks like you can order from there. According to the  print company:

We do NOT ship to the following countries/territories:


  • Belarus

  • Region of Crimea

  • Cuba

  • Iran

  • Johnston Island

  • North Korea

  • Russia

  • Saint Pierre Et Miquelon

  • South Sudan

  • Sudan

  • Syria

  • Republic Of Turkmenistan

  • Ukraine

  • Wake Islands

  • Yemen Arab Republic

  • Venezuela

Hope that helps!

This book details the history of British wild cats including the Scottish wild cat which was announced in 1897 by distinguished naturalists and expert on the wild cat as having become extinct circa the 1860s. The subject of how hybridisation with feral domestics kept the species alive for hundreds of years and facts from historical records throw aside the dogma taught since the early 1900s.

Harrison Weir wrote his book, Our Cats and All About Them, in 1892 with it being published in 1889. Weir was a “cat person” and well known as an expert in cats and this is shown in the books sub-header: “Their Varieties, Habits, and Management; and for Show, the Standard of Excellence and Beauty”. With such an interest pet/show cats Weir obviously looked at the wild variety and it is his section of wild cats that is the subject of this paper and unlike many of the reprinted versions of the book in modern times this paper includes the illustrations.
