About UK Past

UK Past is owned and run by Bibliopolis Books and is the place to buy Bibliopolis local history and genealogy CD Books.

CD BOOKS Most of our products are in CD-ROM format. They contain 3 types of publication:

1. Fascimile reproductions of old printed books. These are made up of scans of the pages of a book designed to reproduce the original work as closely as possible. They are usually large PDF files and can be viewed and printed using Adobe Acrobat Reader (print quality will vary according to the original). Because they are facsimiles, these CD Books are NOT searchable, but they usually contain indexes.

2. Digitized text versions of old printed books. Instead of the original scans, the pages of these books have been converted to text. This is particularly useful when the original is difficult to read because of small print size or deterioration due to age. They are also PDF files and can be viewed, printed and SEARCHED using Adobe Acrobat Reader. They do not normally contain illustrations.

3. Original publications. These are not based on previously published books, but are original Bibliopolis publications, either local histories or collections of data, such as transcriptions of census returns, parish registers etc. They can be viewed using Adobe Acrobat Reader and are also searchable.

DOWNLOADS (eBOOKS). In October 2007, we began selling some of our products as digital downloads.

If you wish to buy downloads, please visit our downloads website. This service is hosted by eJunkie.com E-junkie Shopping Cart and Digital Delivery and your payments will go through a separate Shopping Cart to your CD Book orders.

PAYMENTS. We accept online credit and debit card payments via Paypal. We also accept sterling cheques (only those drawn on a British bank account). Orders will only be dispatched when payment has been received and cleared. Please note that when payments are made via Paypal or cheque, your payment should be made to BIBLIOPOLIS BOOKS.

OTHER OUTLETS. We also sell our booklets and CD Books via major websites such as ABE and Ebay. If you would prefer to purchase via those companies, please go to their websites & search under the CD title. Look at our feedback on Ebay if you wish to have some reassurance about the quality of our service.

CUSTOMER SERVICES/COMPLAINTS. We hope that you never have any reason to complain to us, but if you do, please contact customer services or see our Returns page.
