How to order

You can contact us by phone, e-mail, post or fax to place an order, using the contact details given on this page. Tell us what you want, how many and all your contact details. Official purchase orders welcome.

Bulk discounts

5 to 9 copies = 10% discount

10 or more copies = 15% discount

These discounts apply only when buying multiple copies of the same publication and when no other discounts apply, and apply to all publications apart from Teen Titles which has its own range of subscription rates.

Other discounts

• We offer a 35% trade discount to bookshops and book wholesalers.
• Students qualify for a one-third discount on all our publications.

Postage, packing and delivery

Prices include second-class postage and packing within the UK. Costs of postage to countries outwith the UK will be given on request. Please allow 28 days for delivery. If you need something more urgently, please contact us about possible courier delivery and costs.

Payment

We will send an invoice, so there is no need to pay in advance. The invoice will arrive separately some time after we send you the publications you have ordered. Please wait till you receive the invoice before paying, and quote the invoice number on your payment. Payment should be sent to the payment address shown on the back of the invoice, not to the Publications Unit.

Alternatively, you can pay in advance by sending a cheque (made payable to ‘The City of Edinburgh Council’) with your order to the Publications Unit.

Conditions of sale

All publications are offered for sale on a non-returnable basis. Sorry, we do not offer inspection copies. If you would like more information on any of our products, please contact us and we will arrange to send you a sample page or pages electronically or on paper.

If one of our products arrives damaged, we will of course arrange for a replacement to be sent, on return of the damaged copy.

Photocopying

Purchasers may only photocopy those parts of our materials identified as photocopiable. An establishment which purchases photocopiable materials may make as many copies as are required for use within the establishment. An individual purchaser of photocopiable materials, e.g. a peripatetic teacher serving several schools, may make as many copies as required for use with the classes he or she teaches.

Copyright

Unless stated otherwise, all Children and Families Publications Unit publications are © The City of Edinburgh Council, and no part of them may be reproduced or transmitted by any means, including photocopying, recording or otherwise, without our written permission.
