Payment
If possible, payments should be made by electronic transfer. Contact Dr. David Stickland at the address given below (under "Back Issues") for account details. Make sure to include any fees at your end. Note that a SEPA transfer has no fees for the recipient and the fee (possibly zero) for the sender must be the same as for a domestic transfer (at least from within the EU). However, it is necessary to specify the amount in EUR, neither in your currency (unless it is EUR) nor in GBP. Just convert at the current rate and round up at least 20p to cover possible intraday volatility. While SEPA contains all countries using the EUR, it also contains some EU countries not using EUR and even some non-EU countries. The amount has to be specified in EUR, but the country of the sender and/or that of the recipient could have a non-EUR currency.
Sterling or US dollar cheques for the appropriate amount should be made payable to The Observatory Magazine.

For back issues earlier than 1950, please e-mail Dr. David Stickland at manager AT obsmag.org to check availability (also for information about a discount for bulk orders of back issues).
