Important Updates

Dear Goldsboro Books Customers,

The news continues to change and evolve, and so we must continue to change our practices to suit these uncertain times.

As many of you are no doubt aware, the UK has entered a state of lockdown, and all non-essential travel is to be stopped. Consequently, our skeleton staffing of the shop has come to an end, and we're transitioning to a purely online business for the immediate future. Therefore, for the time being, there can be no more customer collections.

What does this mean for you? On the surface, there is very little change. Goldsborobooks.com will continue to operate and be open for business. I suspect that there are going to be delays in getting books to you, but we will continue to send out books as long as the networks continue to accept our mail. We ask for your patience and understanding that your orders may take longer than normal to get to you.

Thank you for your continued support and loyalty which matters more than ever at this difficult time.

With all very best wishes,

David H Headley 
Managing Director, Goldsboro Books
