Mail Order

Quite why it didn't occur to me to check earlier I couldn't say. But, after a month's waiting I sent off an e-mail to Pilgrims in Kathmandu enquiring about the status of my latest book order and, lo and behold 2 hours later they had processed the payment and my bank balance was reduced accordingly.

Surface mail from the subcontinent may take up to 3 months (air mail works out more than the cost of the books) but, for reprints of classic works on Tibet that one could only dream of finding almost anywhere else in the world, and for a fraction of what the original would cost in an antiquarian bookshop, they will arrive impeccably packed in bubble wrap, thick card and well worth the wait.
