Book Orders
You qualify for a 45% discount on the retail price but will need to cover packing and shipping costs. (This is normally around 25 to 30p per book, dependent on the volume ordered and location). European orders are shipped from the UK and US orders are shipped from the States. Africa and Asian orders can be shipped from either, dependant on a number of factors including shipping and custom duty. Please be aware a €25 euro charge is levied per order to cover bank charges and a ‘printer handing charge.’

You will need to contact ken@librosinternational.com to place your order. Please include a delivery address and the number of books you wish to purchase. Your complimentary copies will be included with your first order. Ken will e-mail you the full cost and you will be given a postal address.
Orders are payable by cheque only.
All orders must be paid for prior to being placed.


By all means start with as much initial self generated publicity as possible but please remember your book will take several months to filter into ALL of the trade catalogues. In the early days of Libros one of our authors managed a BBC interview and generated wonderful interest, only to find that the great book buying public couldn’t get his book from the local Waterstone’s store as it wasn't available in the trade catalogues. Phil Spires from marketing and publicity will be in touch in due course but don’t forget to detail and advise Libros of all activity.

Your book will be fully distributed, paid for by Libros International each year. This means your book will be registered in all of the major retail catalogue’s, Ingrams, Gardners, Bertrams etc. and also listed on the biggest internet bookshops in the world such as Amazon and Barnes and Noble. In time our team will register your book with the smaller internet sites too. It’s all part of an ongoing, never ending process. But basically your book should be able to be purchased in any English speaking bookshop or outlet in the world.

Occasionally your book will appear ‘out of stock’ on Amazon. Don't worry.This appears to happen in the initial stage of the new book and no one seems to be able to give a definitive answer. Apparently Amazon, initially keep a very limited stock of new, unknown author books (2-5) When they sell out, Amazon order a few more (5-10) However, until the books arrive from our printer at the Amazon warehouse they post 'out of stock' on their website. There's nothing we can do about it and after several weeks Amazon gauge the sales and keep the stock replenished permanently. The problem will rectify itself, but at least it means your book is selling!
