Publications - page 1
The titles on this page are those produced under the banner of my 'British & Irish Genealogy blog'. As you can see, there are many ways to make your purchase, so have a browse and pick the one that suits you best. Overseas customers may find it more convenient (and possibly cheaper on the p&p/shipping) by ordering via my Lulu Storefront. You have to register at Lulu first, but it's free and there are no catches. Lulu tends to be pricey on the p&p generally, but by ordering more than one item this burden can be reduced somewhat. If you've any queries (including requests for 'bulk' or 'wholesale' purchases for onward sale), email me at micksouthwick @ blueyonder.co.uk

Queries / Overseas Orders
If you have any queries, email me at micksouthwick @ blueyonder.co.uk . It occurs to me that I may not have adequately covered overseas orders, but it's my understanding that Paypal accommodates all currencies (and please feel free, if necessary, to use your own reasonable efforts to estimate conversion rates - I'm not too fussy). If sending a cheque from overseas, I must insist on it being in GBP sterling and cashable/drawn on a UK bank. (it may be cheaper to use Lulu if ordering from overseas).
