The Descent Retrospective

The Rise and Fall of Northern Caving

Caving publications come and go, judging by the repetition of their titles appearing in print. Not Descent, we hasten to add but, in the next in our occasional series of Descent Retrospectives, we look at the independent caving publications of yore. Read on to learn more of the Rise and Fall of Northern Caving.

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.
