What if someone does not have a credit card?
We will bring a copy(s) into the country for people who cannot buy online (upon receipt of a bank transfer into our account (before we place the order with Blurb)).

The book will then be posted locally to the buyer (by us) in a bubble envelope (to protect the book).
An additional handling charge of NZ$5.00 per book will be required at time of the bank deposit to complete this type of transaction.
