Pricing
The London Review Bookshop website aims to ensure that the prices of books sold on the website are consistent with the most accurate current information about book prices. We supply items at the publisher's recommended price except where a specific discount is offered. We will make all reasonable efforts to make sure our published prices are correct, but we cannot guarantee any prices.
Information about prices, whether from publishers or public book databases, is not always accurate. From time to time, publishers change their published prices without warning and we become aware of these changes only when ordering stock. Where a discrepancy arises between the price of an item as published on the website and the price of the same item as supplied, we will contact you to check whether you still wish to receive the item at the new price.

Availability of any book is subject to publishers' stock levels.
