Welcome to Blue Hill Books' on-line browsing and ordering service, giving our customers world-wide, around-the-clock access to Blue Hill Books.

We hope that the browsing and ordering functions of www.bluehillbooks.com will be of use to our loyal customers. The database is large and useful--useful in that the books listed are, for the most part, in print and available either from the over 30,000 titles on our shelves or the over 1,000,000 titles we have next day access to from our distributors.

The Search Box in the upper right hand corner can be used to search by author, title (key words will do), or ISBN. If you're not sure of the correct spelling for an author or title, just put an * to cover the part you may not be sure of spelling correctly. For example ... w* ryb* for Witold Rybczynski. I'll bet a young Witold would have enjoyed this option!

On the search results page remember to click on the blue underlined title for a jacket photo and a description of the book. Click on the author's name to view more titles by that author.

  Important Information when ordering books through bluehillbooks.com!

  Your only option at the Shopping Cart page is "Instore Pickup" --even when you want us to ship your order to you or to someone else. Order processing has been simplified on our new site in that by clicking the "Instore Pickup" button you will then need only to type in your name, phone number, and email address. The "Instore Pickup" button sends your order directly here to us at Blue Hill Books. If you will not be coming in to the store to pick up your order, we will call and arrange for payment after we receive your order.

  You also have the opportunity to send us any other information in the "Comment" box which you will see after you click on "Instore Pickup". This is the spot to include an address if you want your order shipped, if you want certain things gift wrapped, if you want us to help you find a certain title, if someone else will be picking up your order.....or anything else you may want to tell us.
