So- you want to buy the

There are several ways to buy the Jack Russell  and Pet Vet books. Here are just some of them! The one you find easiest will depend on where you live.

1. If you are at primary school, or if you know someone who is, order the titles you want through the Scholastic Book Club.

2.  Go to your local bookshops. If you can't see the titles you want on the shelf, ask the assistant if they are in stock. If the assistant says the books are "not in stock", ask him or her to order them for you. You will need to quote the title(s), author and publisher. In Australia, the UK, and Canada the publisher is Scholastic. In the USA, the publishers are Scholastic and Kane Miller.

3. Go to an on-line book shop. Some may have the books in stock. Others will order them from their supplier. There are many of these. One good on-line shop we have used is Booktopia. Another good one is Fishpond.

4. In Australia, you can also telephone Scholastic Australia directly and order the titles. You will find their telephone number in the yellow pages, or you can contact Customer Service through their website at http://www.scholastic.com.au . (There is a small packing fee.)

5. You can order titles through Amazon, but you need to be careful as the UK editions have different covers and different titles. Read the blurb to make sure you don't order the same book twice. There are French Canadian editions, but the two US editions and the English-language Canadian editions are very much like the Australian ones, and have the same titles and covers.

If you have trouble getting Fowl Play, try ordering it on line from Australia.
