Yes, we can send books anywhere in the UK or internationally. We have a flat standard rate of £10 for courier deliveries within the UK. As art books are usually very heavy it is often more expensive to send by Royal Mail than by courier. If you are based in Mayfair or nearby, we may be able to deliver by hand free of charge. Otherwise, international packing and shipping is calculated by size, weight and destination, and we will give you a quote before completing your order.
