You might spot that the name on the cover is Jim Eyres ... which is incorrect, as Jim's name was Eyre (thought he was often referred to as Eyres). Jim was one of the old school, a generation now passed, and an inveterate drawer of cartoons (as anyone who has read his autobiography, It's Only a Game and The Game Goes On, will know).
Jim's cartoons are undeniably ... well, often extremely rude. This is not a book for your maiden aunt and, quite possibly, would not so readily be published today. But, for those so inclined to enjoy the humour of the day, this is a rare chance to turn pages to find what the next outrageous cartoon depicts.
Please see under 'Product details' for more information about this book; remember, the price includes postage.
Data sheet
Our goods for advertised for sale with postage costs included; selecting the destination other than the UK will alter the price, to take into account the increased carriage charges.
If stock is limited, for example with a single copy of a second-hand book, it will be assigned to UK stock. If you require posting to an address outside the UK, you will not be able to place this order, even though stock is available. We regret this, but the software has limitations. If this is the case, please contact us to enable the options you require.
Please see our FAQs relating to deliveries, and the Delivery page linked from the bottom of each page, before placing your order if time is an important element for your order.
On 1 July 2021 the EU removed all exemptions for tax and customs duty on low value items posted from the UK to the EU, meaning that although VAT is 0% on books and magazines in the UK, VAT is charged within the EU and the tax (potentially plus a handling fee) now apply to all orders to the EU.
We are unable to post any items to the EU with VAT or other duties prepaid; as a small company, it is a long way outside our abilities to engage with an agent to do so. All items are therefore mailed as DDU (Delivery Duty Unpaid). Ordering any item from Wild Places requires that you accept responsibility for paying the VAT applicable in your country and any other local charges on delivery.
To be clear: Wild Places will NOT cover any charges levied by your country; it is your responsibility to accept these when placing an order. We apologise for the situation, but it is outside our control. Refusal to pay charges upon delivery will not be accepted as a reason for refunding in full any returned items.
NOTE: Norway and Switzerland are outside the EU and orders will be filled as normal.
