Lost the book and had no idea they lost it. Had to wait 3 months to find that out. Customer support got defensive and blamed everyone else but themselves. Spoke to someone named Sofia Krysiak. F... See more

Thanks Keith & Setanta Books (RE; Richard Hawley's "Truelove's Gutter")

My thanks to Keith and Setanta Books for first, getting Richard Hawley's beautiful "Truelove's Gutter" reissued on LP for those of us who sadly missed the earlier rare pressings and second, for having great communications, very secure packaging to America and an excellent and quiet vinyl pressing of Richard's masterpiece!

Get your copies of Richard's "Setanta Books" vinyl pressings now, before they disappear, which is sure to happen!

Best,
Chris

Richard Hawley re-issues

Bought the 2 re-issues of Coles Corner & Trueloves Gutter by Richard Hawley ,as like the rest of the country , couldn’t justify the prices they were asking for OG’s , excellent products / service and communication from Setanta , I’ve bought from them before & would do again , total confidence & peace of mind ..... fantastic !!

First time order - perfect decision!

Ordered two Richard Hawley vinyls that finally got reissued. The original pressing was off the market long ago and floating around copies are over 200€ to 500. Therefore I was happy they for reissued in colored vinyl.
Anyway, via Google I found Setanta books (I usually check for fair shipping costs to Germany) and ordered. I never have ordered there before and I was very keen for the vinyls I was a bit worried that they would arrive after the publishing date. I had pre ordered.
Keith, the owner I guess, contacted me quickly after my online order letting me know he would send out both copies as soon both would be available.
After time went by and I saw one copy already floating around on Instagram I wondered where my copy was but I admit I had forgotten that Keith wanted to send both copies at one time and the second wasn't yet published. Keith told me and shortly after he sent them both off. A week later they appeared on my doorstep.
Great shop. Polite and quick support. Would order again anytime! Thanks again!

Ordered LPs twice from Setanta Books

Ordered LPs twice from Setanta Books, both times I've been very impressed by the promptness of the delivery times, and the condition that the records arrived in. The seller was incredibly polite and offered great customer service.

Highly recommended.
