We intend to produce many more lists in future on a variety of subjects and we would prefer where possible to send these by email as PDF file attachments or links to files on our Website. This has the obvious advantage of reducing costs and enhancing the speed of delivery and the email/pdf versions will also be enhanced with colour illustrations. A fully illustrated version of this list in pdf format is also available on our website or will be emailed on request. Likewise we encourage you to send orders by email, fax or telephone. If you would like to receive future lists please indicate your interests by email (preferred) or by using the form below by fax or post. If you would like to receive ALL lists (email only) please let us know also. If for any reason you do not wish to receive any more of these lists, also please let us know and we will cease and desist. We have experimented with a number of forms for emailing orders to us but many security systems now prevent such links from working correctly so we suggest simply emailing us at: books@gastonrenard.com and copying and pasting the entries of the items you want from the list above. If you encounter any difficulties, please let us know! For orders by fax or by post please use the Order Form at end.
