Can I reproduce information from Voyager books?
The information regarding permissions, rights and copyright is quite complex. Please see our permissions section on the HarperCollinsPublishers Australia website.

I have been told the book I want is Out of Print. How can I obtain a copy?
When a title goes out of print it is generally considered unavailable. Sometimes however a copy can be located on a shelf in a second-hand bookstore. One such store has a website at http://www.berkelouw.com.au.

Another option is to try BiblioQuest, Australia's leading specialist search service for out-of-print and collectable books. BiblioQuest has a website at http://www.biblioquest.com.au.

Alternatively you might like to keep an eye on the many auction sites on the web (such as eBay) or to check webrings such as Abebooks
