With only a limited number of copies being printed, we strongly encourage customers to place their orders now to ensure they do not miss out on this exceptional and important reference work.
We would also like to remind customers that 2026 marks 25 years since we first opened our bookshop in Iver, Buckinghamshire. To celebrate and to thank you for your continued support, throughout 2026 every customer who makes a purchase within each three-month period will be entered into a prize draw, with one lucky winner receiving a £25.00 Pemberley Books voucher.
