Also, my understanding is that the 10% you describe is when using certain couriers, but NOT Royal Mail. With RM a much larger tarriff is looking likely...

From the information I can gather it looks like books might be exempt... but with Edgelands I sell lots of other things too so it's easiest just to cease US trading for now...

It is with deep regret that, thanks to Donald Trump's ridiculous new tarriffs coming into place on the 29th Aug, we can no longer ship orders to the United States.

Sincerely apologies to our loyal US customers, and we hope the situation changes again soon and we can resume normal US shipping.

Right, #Booksky, used to get 100's of replies to these on Twitter so....

My day job is buying books for 34 libraries, help me and my customers out by telling me the best fiction book(s) you've read in 2025.

Rules: can be any genre and doesn't have to be new, but NOTHING self-published gogogo!
