Please note: the width of this book, when packaged, is just over the depth for a Royal Mail large letter so I have listed postage for a small parcel. If, when I get to the post office, they pronounce that it is a large letter (the depth is hard to measure) I will refund you the difference in postage.
I appreciate that members of the Clan Maclean in overseas territories may wish to buy the book, so will be ready to ship quickly to ensure that the book arrives in time for the holidays.
