•• IMPORTANT NOTICE ••

My wife, Adrienne, and I are getting ready to move into a retirement village, a move which will be taking up a great deal of our time and energy over the next few months. We plan to resume producing new books in 2022 but, to manage our present work-loads, we will not be producing any further new titles in 2021 nor, with limited exceptions, will we be reprinting any existing titles.

We are, however, continuing to supply NZ retail customers from existing stocks, albeit that we expect some titles to sell out quite quickly. We will try to keep this website as up-to-date as possible regarding availability. If you are a New Zealand retail customer thinking of buying one or more of our books, the sooner you order the better the chances we will be able to fill your order! (As of 14 July 2021, all listed titles remain in print).

We are no longer filling overseas orders directly. Please contact G T Carter Transport Books in NZ (gtcarter16@gmail.com) or MDS Books (https://www.mdsbooks.co.uk/) if you are an overseas customer wanting to place an order – both of these retailers supply internationally and currently hold reasonable stocks of our books.

Many thanks to all for your interest, custom and understanding.
