Title
NHBS - For the best books on earth, worldwide
Description
NHBS Mailorder Bookstore operates from offices and a warehouse on the edge of Totnes, a medieval market town set amidst the rolling South Devon countryside, in the southwest of England. With 18 staff we are big enough to provide a high quality service all the year round, and small enough to offer personal attention - providing a service for thousands of customers in over 100 countries.
NHBS started life in 1985 as an ornithological specialist (the first catalogue listing around 500 bird books was hand-crafted on a state-of-the-art electronic typewriter). Within two years it became a natural history bookstore, with a committment to supply all in-print literature (defined as any print or electronic materials) in the natural history/natural science disciplines: botany, ecology, environmental science, evolutionary biology, geology/earth science and zoology.
By the late 1980s we were beginning to get orders and enquiries for ‘environment’ titles outside of natural science in the classical sense, so we set about redefining our remit. By the time of the Rio summit in 1992, we had extended the subject range to embrace habitat and species conservation, climate change studies, environmental assessment - and a whole host of other areas where environmental research and enquiry was going on.
