As a consequence of the continuing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic the Publishing House sales office and warehouse in Bath is open on a part-time basis with reduced staff. Marketing, Production and Editorial Development departments continue to work remotely.
The health and well-being of our colleagues, members and customers is our top priority. We are carefully monitoring the situation and will update this page to keep everyone informed of service delays or announcements.
Please email us with any queries and questions – the majority of staff are working remotely and will attend to your query as soon as possible. Please email reception for general enquiries or sales for book orders or non-member subscriptions. See 'Information for authors' for production contacts.
The Society's offices in London are currently closed to staff and visitors. Please see the updates page for more details.

Book orders
If you would like to place an order with us, please order via the online bookshop or download and complete an order form from the catalogues page and send it to us by email or fax. Please note that some countries have temporarily suspended acceptance of international mail (Royal Mail website).
We currently expect to dispatch orders within 4 weeks of receipt. This delay has been caused by the receipt of a high number of orders, reduced working hours and recent IT issues. We hope that this backlog will be reduced in the next 2 weeks.
For more information or queries on any orders the most efficient way to get in touch with us is by emailing sales@geolsoc.org.uk. You can also bookmark this page, where we will post any service updates.
