LANGUAGE BOOKS ON LINE
                   THE INTERNATIONAL BOOKSHOP

"As well as being a leading foreign language bookseller for UK markets, Language Books Online is a one-stop
shop for all and any book in print such as educational books, Christian & other Faith Books.  We already
supply all books in print in five languages & offer a complete sourcing of any book in print in all other
languages. The availability by telephone of a personal contact for all clients who is himself a fluent French
speaker and comfortable working with other languages adds a vital dimension to the business - both for the
client looking for a specific title, and for ease of contact with the publishing and distribution houses of Europe
and the world.  In fact personal service is LBOL's raison d'être - and it is this factor which makes LBOL
part of a new breed of Internet Bookshops. New clients are discovering LBOL every day - and are pleasantly
surprised.  LBOL is ideally suited for the individual needing a specific title of foreign language book - fast -
as well as the school or language college requiring larger quantities of foreign language books.  We are
Open University (OU) Official Set Book Suppliers.  The language tutor will find at LBOL a welcome place to
browse using the carefully selected links to the publishing and distribution houses of Europe and the databases
supplied on line.  Enquiries and requests for quotations are welcome and free.  Advice will be given if asked for.
In all things we aim to meet our clients needs.  We believe - as so many of our clients do -  that you will find
LBOL as the finest foreign language bookseller you will find."                                                                                                                                               .                                                                              Language Books Online

NOTICE OF PRICE INCREASES

In line with its policy of complete transparency, LBOL regrets to inform its clientèle that, because of the continuing weakening of the UK Pound against the Euro (now almost 50% down since our pricing policies were fixed in 2005) we now have to fix prices on a day-to-day basis.  (Euro prices have also increased, but normally at only between 2 to 6%.)

Since our pricing policies were introduced in May 2005, the price of the euro has dropped from 66 pence to the euro to almost parity to the euro (1st January 2009).  We had already increased prices from the euro-zone in January 2008, April 2008 and November 2008. 

NOW OWING TO THE UNCERTAIN NATURE OF THE EXCHANGE RATES, ORDERS FOR ALL ITEMS FROM THE EURO-ZONE WILL BE TAKEN ON A DAILY PRICING BASIS.  THIS WILL ALLOW US TO OFFER GUARANTEED PRICES ON OUR QUOTES.  WE ARE CONFIDENT, HOWEVER, THAT THIS IS A TEMPORARY MEASURE UNTIL THE POUND IS ABLE TO BOUNCE BACK. 

We apologise to our customers for this situation which is completely outside of our control: we will return to earlier pricing and delivery patterns when sterling returns to a more stable position.

The surcharge does not affect carriage or UK publishers.

Website pages are being updated - until they are updated, the above measures apply to all prices on this web-site.

LBOL STILL REMAINS BEST UK VALUE FOR ITS SPECIALITIES:
Foreign language titles procurement service to schools, colleges and universities: specialising in  monolingual dictionaries, magazine subscription service and bespoke ordering.
 

With our rapid and personal service, with low cost delivery to most destinations in the UK, we believe that you will find us the most reliable and efficient UK supplier of foreign language books.
