Databook suppliers
All of my books remain on sale at the original published purchase price. This does not vary with time. The databook was A$100 on issue in 1991 and still costs the same, although now you get it in a leather binding instead of softbound (how much of a bargain is that?). What does increase with time is the postage — this goes up every few months. In the 21 years since the databook was published, postage costs have risen enormously. For buyers outside Australia, the exchange rate may move as well, either in your favour or against you. The prices listed below take into account the fixed price of the book, the current postage costs and the prevailing exchange rate.
You can buy the Jensen Databook from
a select group of Jensen clubs and specialist suppliers or direct from me. Some
suppliers have a few of the remaining softcover versions, some will have the hardcover version, and some
will have both. I have only hardcovers available. If you live outside Australia, check first with a supplier near you. If they have
stock, fine — you'll get your book quicker and cheaper. If not, or if you want a
signed copy, order from me. Here are the regular outlets with
recommended selling prices:
UNITED KINGDOM (£90)
UNITED STATES (US$150)
EUROPE (€110)
NEW ZEALAND (NZ$190)
AUSTRALIA (A$100)
DIRECT BY MAIL from the author to the USA, Canada, UK, Europe and NZ (includes postage)

* Delivery times
The delivery times quoted here are estimates only because the security measures now in place around the world to screen for potentially dangerous contents are having an impact. This means you can expect delays. There won't be anything in your parcel but paper and bubble-wrap but please understand that once your book leaves my hands, it's really out of my hands.
** Insurance
Insurance is not required on trackable express delivery items. If you want optional insurance on ordinary airmail or seamail, add US$10, EUR 7, £5 or NZ$10 per order. In the past 22 years, I've only had one book go astray (Leon Perahia, you are so unlucky). I think you should be fine without insurance but, if you don't take it, don't complain to me if something goes wrong. I retain posting receipts and will follow up on any delivery problems for you, but I won't refund your money if you don't have insurance.
*** Customs at your end
The books are covered by HS tariff number 4901.99.90 (origin Australia). Most countries do not levy a duty on books. If in doubt, check with your local authorities quoting the HS tariff number.
