but we hope to repress some of the titles as soon as finances allow.)
Vinyl records only.

We can also supply reggae revive releases from Jamaica, but it often takes quite a bit of time to obtain them. In the future, I will list those titles which we have in stock or can acquire on reasonably short notice. All titles will be vinyl releases.
If you have any special requests, let me know.
Please note that I don't have the time to hunt down rarities... only currently in-press titles will be considered.

How to Order
Within the UK:
Payment can be made by personal cheque made payable to: Henry W.Targowski.
Don't forget to include Postage & Packing charges.
Sorry, no credit card payments possible.
Outside the UK:
Orders from outside the UK are a bit more complicated. Due to extravagant bank charges on foreign currency, it is impossible for us to accept checks made out in your local money (often the charges are greater than the actual sums involved).
So, payment must be made by "bank draft" drawn on a UK bank in British Pounds Sterling, payable to: Henry W.Targowski. Ask your local bank manager to arrange this. (Unfortunately you will incur a charge for this "service".)
Alternatively, payment can be made by "International Money Order" (I.M.O.) made out in British Pounds Sterling, payable to: Henry W.Targowski. These I.M.O.s are available through the Post Office. (Again, there will be a charge for this "service".)
Sorry, but no credit card payments are possible.
Please allow 2-4 weeks for cheques to be cleared and your order to be processed.
If you are ordering any of the books, please make sure that there is still a copy available before sending money.
The only items which I am seeking in trade are the following books:
INDIGO by Pat Cadigan,
DIRTY WORK by Pat Cadigan,
THE GLASS HAMMER by K.W.Jeter,
THE BIG U by Neal Stephenson.
Contact me with details, and we'll sort something out.
