Bargain books on the Middle Ages and all related subjects

Something for nothing!

To join the mailing list,
just send a request to the email link above

To be removed at any time, simply send an email request to the same address.

You need to make a specific request to be added to the mailing list. Please don’t send a blank email, as this will usually be rejected by spam filters.

When your email is received, you will be sent a confirmation that you've been added to the mailing list (but it’s not an automated service, so you won’t receive an immediate acknowledgement). If you don’t get a reply within a few days, either your email or my reply has gone astray.

This is a free service and you can unsubscribe at any time by sending an email to medievalbookshop. However, the normal terms and conditions will apply if you decide to place an order.

You will receive:
  • A notification when each month’s new stock list is ready — this lets you see newly catalogued Books, before they are added to the public section of the web site. You will be sent a link by email, which will take you to a special subscriber section of the web site. If any new subject pages have been added to the site, the email will also include links for these;
  • and maybe the occasional promotional mailout (about books or items likely to be of interest to medievalbookshop customers). Such mailouts may be on behalf of other companies, but your email address and other details will not be passed on to them — the address list is not available for sale to third parties.

All lists will be sent to the email address in your message header if you do not specify a different one.

Medievalbookshop also offers a few unused bargains. New titles are included in the general lists, but the complete list is updated monthly on this web site, so it is not notified to subscribers on a regular basis.

All lists are sent out as bulk emails with the recipient list hidden, so you may need to check with your internet service provider about how you can make sure they reach you. Many providers will intercept and delete such emails as a matter of policy — this might particularly apply if you are using a work address to receive them. Others will forward them to your/spam junk folder, so it’s always worth looking there if you don’t appear to be receiving anything.

If you don’t seem to be receiving anything, you can check the current lists via the used books index page: these are usually posted at the beginning of each month, a few days after they have been notified to subscribers.

Third party communications

Occasionally mailouts are made on a third party’s behalf, but the mailing list itself is not made available to such parties: examples have included notification of a new dialect discussion group, and an invitation to make offers for private sale of a collectable book. Publishers and similar commercial concerns are welcome to enquire about making mailouts that may be of interest to medievalbookshop’s customers.

The medievalbookshop mailing list is maintained for internal use only, and is not for sale to third parties. If this policy changes in the future, an email will be sent to everyone on the list asking whether they wish to continue receiving emails from medievalbookshop.

Data protection

Your email address will be stored digitally and you will be sent all of medievalbookshop’s mailouts as outlined above.

No other information is needed and you will not be asked for any until you want to place an order, but you’re welcome to add other details if you wish to (your special interests, wants lists, etc). Printed mailouts are not issued, so you don’t need to give your postal address. Any information you supply will be treated as confidential, unless you request otherwise (see the privacy policy page for details). You will only be added to the mailing list if you specifically request to be — you won’t be added just for contacting medievalbookshop.

Email “spoofing”

Emails from medievalbookshop will never ask you for passwords, access codes, credit card or PIN numbers, or similar confidential information (not even when you make a purchase), so please do not respond to any email that asks for such details. The regular bulk mailout lists never have attachments, though responses to individual enquiries may do so if appropriate.

You will only be asked for personal information if you decide to make a purchase from medievalbookshop, and then it will only for details that are necessary to process the transaction and deliver goods to you, such as your delivery address. Please use the contact links at the top of this page to seek confirmation of any suspicious requests for information: if an email has no conceivable interest for a medievalist, then it’s probably not genuinely from medievalbookshop.
