         Sheppard’s World

Sheppard's World (www.sheppardsworld.co.uk) is a database which is used by subscribers to search for and send initial e-mails to dealers and from which data is extracted for typesetting and publishing in book form. All e-mail addresses are protected against abuse.

This site replaces the conventional Free Dealer Entry Forms that have been sent out by post. Dealers using the Internet can now get their business details published in Sheppard’s directories by submitting their details here. We will post information about the production and availability on the News and Press Releases page. The last edition of printed directories are listed below:

Book Dealers in the British Isles (31st), Book Dealers in North America (15th), Book Dealers in Europe (11th), Book Dealers in Australia and New Zealand (4th), Book Dealers in Latin America and Southern Africa (1st), Book Dealers in Japan (1st), International Dealers in Ephemera (2nd), International Print and Map Sellers (4th)

All entries for collectors and dealers on this site are free – as are all dealer entries published in the directories but, having added your details you later wish to search the database you will need to buy a subscription.

Benefits

  • Dealers can register their business details, free of charge, and can update them at any time in the future. A copy of their entry is always e-mailed back as confirmation after every complete viewing.

  • Dealers’ details will be published free of charge in the appropriate directory. Directories will be published at periodic intervals and publication dates, once set, will be posted on the `News’ page.

  • The site now has a search facility - Dealers can be listed by country/city or town. And by subject classification of books stocked.
      Each search provides the dealers' full address, telephone, Voice Over the Internet (VOIP - eg Skype) and fax numbers. E-mail and web site addresses (where provided) and both are hyperlinked allowing you to jump directly to the dealer's web site or automatically loads your email application with the dealer's address entered.
           Most of the usual details shown are similar to those in our directories which may vary from edition to edition and include: type of premises, opening times, association memberships, credit cards accepted and VAT numbers where applicable.

  • Once registered, dealers can also access information on Sheppard's Confidential. (The access LogonID and Password is the same.)
     

Conditions of registering your details
