Ordering information

Ordering books online at the specially discounted price

Members of the Hakluyt Society are entitled to a discount, currently 50%, when ordering original editions of books published outside their period of membership from Boydell and Brewer, or if they require supplementary copies of books already received. Please note that the members’ discount now applies not only to original editions of books but also to print-on-demand reprints. A few hardback volumes for the last five years are available from B&B but no other stock. B&B are currently at work digitising back volumes from the third series to make them available as print-on-demand paperbacks or e-books. This will take a while and members will be updated when they become available.
