Evolution to ISBN 13
To increase the numbering capacity of the current ISBN (International
Standard Book Number) system, the ISBN will officially change from 10 to
13 digits on 1 January 2007.
This will be a global change.
Existing 10 digit ISBNs will be converted to their equivalent 13 digit
ISBN, while new publications from 1 Jan 2007 will only have a 13 digit
ISBN. Thus, all references to the ISBN from 1 Jan 2007 will need to be
via the 13 digit ISBN.
The example below highlights the change in the appearance of a barcode:

Availability
Occasionally titles go out of print. We endeavor to remove titles from the web site when they go out of print. However this is not always the case. In most cases we find out that a book is out of print when we place an order for it with our supplier/publisher. This means we cannot fulfill a customer's order. We apologize for the inconvenience.
For items in stock, delivery to a New Zealand destination is usually 2- 3 business days. For items not in stock with us but in stock with a New Zealand distributor, delivery is again usually 2 -3 business days to a New Zealand destination. If we need to source a book from an overseas distributor, delivery to a New Zealand destination will usually be 10 - 14 days.
Deliveries to an overseas destination typically take 3 - 6 weeks. The actual time taken usually depends on the delivery systems within the destination country.
