About E C Books Orkney, United Kingdom

Biblio member since 2011

E C Books is a small online bookselling business, specialising in pre 20th century works - aiming for rarer and more unusual books - and early 20th century illustrated works. It is linked to our physical bookshop in the Orkney Islands - Birsay Books. Birsay Books is open all year round and is situated near the spectacular Brough of Birsay. Visitors to the shop can view items from our separate online stock on request. Our largest stock areas are Natural History, where we have a good range of books from the 1700-1800's, many finely illustrated, and illustrated fiction (both adult and children's). Other areas include history with a focus on Orkney and Shetland, travel, humour (large P G Wodehouse listings), and the rare and unusual.

When you order books from us we ensure that they are properly packed to protect condition, and we always use recorded or 'signed for' postal services for more secure delivery. Because of our island location we cannot guarantee 'next day' delivery but we will get your purchase to you as quickly and safely as we can.

Please note that the buyer is responsible for the payment of any tax or duty on import.

Terms of Sale:

30 day return guarantee, with full refund including shipping costs for up to 30 days after delivery if an item arrives misdescribed or damaged.
