APRIL 2023 UPDATE

The rivers are slowly fining down and most trees have a few leaves showing so it must be spring! Along with publishing some great new titles this year we are currently updating some of our original books as new editions. All of these are now on the website. Of course you can make orders for Medlar books in the usual ways - directly via this website or by phone, email or post. Royal Mail strikes affecting our deliveries are still possible but posting is currently operating reasonably well. We'll let you know when any more disruptions are due. Overseas postage is still subject to delay and increased charges. Further details can be found on our Ordering page.
