Hidden Worlds by Robbie Shone is a large, coffee-table volume of some of this specialist cave photographer's most outstanding images, collected together with selected texts describing some of the most hair-raising episodes he has encountered as well as details of how Robbie plans his shots. Cased in cloth and bearing a print on the cover, this is one of the finest productions you will come across. See the Reviews tab for further details.
Because of the introduction of customs paperwork and taxes in the EU, we regret we are not shipping this book to EU countries (but if you really want us to, please make contact). The international option for shipping includes the additional cost for carriage for this 1.6kg book. For international mail outside the EU, an additional option is to add a tracked and signed service. This should mean a quicker delivery time and includes insurance. We must be clear that without choosing this option, we will be unable to cover any costs for loss or damage in transit.
International mail is listed as up to 6 weeks for the USA and 12 weeks for Australia. The tracked and signed option is estimated as up to 7 days.

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.
