Nirvana

Two Weeks in the Taurus

‘I was just about to reach for a bolt when there was a “tinkle, tinkle, ker-plop”…’ Join Martyn Farr and his colleagues as they explore the wilds of Turkey.

Preach what you Practise

With a wing and a prayer, Charles Bailey finds that flying is very easy – it’s the sudden stop that gives him a problem, especially when it’s at the far end of Carno Adit.

Gloucester Goes Mad in Missouri

How do the caves of Missouri match up to a visit by cavers from the Forest of Dean when they journey to the 1997 NSS Convention?

Taking Care of Tomorrow

The Queen of Hearts

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR EU CUSTOMERS

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, it is charged within the EU and the VAT (potentially plus a handling fee) now applies to all orders to the EU.

All small publishers in the UK are now in the same position – we are unable to post any items to the EU with VAT or other duties paid.

When ordering any item from Stalactite Publishing, including a Descent subscription, you accept responsibility for paying the VAT and any other local charges on delivery.

Stalactite Publishing is not able to cover any charges levied by your country; it is your responsibility to accept these when placing an order.

We apologise for this situation, but please understand that it is outside our control.
