If you want to have my books available for sale during an author visit, please publicise the sale to the students well ahead of time and ask them to bring their money on the day. I cannot leave copies behind to be paid for later. If you have definite advance orders please let me know and I’ll bring the required numbers. Otherwise I’ll bring a few copies of each title.
The following titles are still in print (as far as I know) and may be ordered through your local supplier or on online via, for example, www.amazon.co.uk If you do a search for my books check under ‘Steve Bowkett’ and ‘Stephen Bowkett’ – or just type in ‘Bowkett’ and you’ll get me and some other rather academic people who share the surname.
