RARE KOMPASS BRITISH EXPORTS 98 - PRODUCTS AND SERVICES AVAILABLE FROM BRITAIN (Directory)
This is a special directory based on the famous and huge KOMPASS trade directories that was only available in the UK and it's a very useful and authoritative work, despite being dated, good for finding companies making a required product and for finding companies and trade names so ideal for research and the like as it also has lots of adverts for companies.
There is a comprehensive listing of over 20,000 products and services directly or via the ability to locate them via a brand or trade name and also has the distributors of a particular product and it has over 10,000 companies listed in alphabetical order. (There is a multilingual introduction and index section in French, German and Spanish for the products, arranged printed on yellow, green and pink coloured paper respectively, the rest of the directory is in English on white paper)
It's heavy, thus expensive to post, so if these directories interest you please note that I will be listing many more similar ones soon and to save postage it would be best to let me combine postage by not immediately paying for items won.
I am down sizing so have to start breaking down my library of reference books such as this, so if seek trade directories such as this, please bookmark me so that you do not miss the listings!

This large softcover directory book is in pretty good condition and has spent all it's life in my own reference library shelving.
Condition: There are some minor creases, scuffs but nothing bad with no damage inside, (no finger marks, pencil marks, bent page corners, or writing etc.), the pages are clean and the binding is intact with no missing or loose pages.
This directory covers lots of ground and I have put images of some of the content including those on how it is used; I found it really useful when I could remember where a company or distributor, etc. was situated but not their exact name, as well as obviously round the other way.
Please note that I always combine postage if more than one book is won and I will be listing other unusual directories like this on the performing arts, etc.
This has to go as a Medium Parcel so there is scope to save a lot on postage if several books are purchased so that I can issue a combined invoice for all of them - the maximum limit for this now is 30 days though and this can only be done if you DON'T pay immediately for items won, just ignore ebay's hectoring you to pay!
Winner's notice; please wait for me to raise your ebay invoice before paying as the prices below are estimates and may be higher if prices change since the listing was prepared or the final bid value (FBV) goes above the insured value shown and will also be higher if your confirmed address is outside of UK zone 1 post codes, (i.e Highlands & Islands and Northern Ireland, etc.). If outside the UK, once again please wait for me to pack and weigh the item so as to get an accurate shipping cost to your destination country for your ebay invoice, before paying.
Failure to observe this will cause delays because I may have to request additional funds to cover any extra shipping costs as I only charge what it costs me and add nothing for materials and time, etc. unless specifically noted below.
SHIPPING ESTIMATES: (Collection in person for cash is OK)
UK Home Delivery: This is £8.50 by Royal Mail 2nd class Tracked Medium Parcel, insured to £150.00 FBV
The cost to The Republic of Ireland, France, Germany and most of the EU is about the same at £16.75 for Royal Mail Tracked International Post, insured to £50.00, (please supply a post code and ask for a shipping estimate before bidding if you are outside the UK), and even more to farther flung countries.
I will only send this insured to the final bid value (FBV), and by means requiring a signature on delivery - see more on this below; (if the FBV rises over the insured value an additional charge for the extra insurance at cost will be added to the ebay invoice)
No packing charges are added; you just pay what I pay to send it!
The small print, but please read it!
NB: This item may be picked up in person for cash, otherwise it will be despatched securely, via a tracked and insured service only, so it will need to be signed for at the delivery address; I will not send it to a PO box, or care of a business address without written acceptance of your liability for loss, theft or damage; the delivery address must also tally exactly with the registered address within both eBay and PayPal.
Carriage charges are estimates and, where indicated, are for UK (zone 1) post codes only. If you are in other zones or are an overseas bidder, you can get an estimate of shipping costs by checking online. (Or message me with your country and postal code and ask me for an estimate of shipping cost before bidding)
Payment may be by Pay Pal/cheque/postal order/bank transfer or with cash if collecting in person, but please note that I do wait 12 working days before posting items against cheques and 8 against bank transfers on the advice of my bank; PayPal payments ensure prompt postage.
Please confirm your full address when completing the transaction via the eBay and PayPal message system to avoid delays on despatch and supply a telephone number; I now fully check identities and addresses before sending items because of fraud attempts.
