Only one copy of each title - so act quickly to secure your chosen books

In association with Archetype, we are selling some older and out-of-print books from the IIC office. Please see the list of titles and their prices in GBP below. The books are sold on a first come, first served basis, we only have one copy of each.

If you would like to buy a title please email info@archetype.co.uk with your shipping address. You will then receive a link to order the title, payment via credit card or Paypal only. Books ship internationally, and you will see the costs for this at checkout.

Further details of each title are also listed here on Archetype's website - this will gradually be updated as titles are sold, but not necessarily immediately, so listing isn't a guarantee that a title is still available.

We wish you luck in getting the titles that you want, and hope you enjoy owning a classic from conservation history.
