Christmas has crept up on us again, and with just over week to go, all across the world people are busy trying to find the perfect presents. The good news is there’s still time to order a Five Simple Steps book – but you’ll have to be quick!

Our colourful, informative books make great presents for both web professionals and those starting out in the industry. They’re packed with useful information, examples and clear thinking on specific areas, and they're the perfect way to brush up your knowledge over the holidays.

For most countries, today (17 December) is the last guaranteed day for standard ground shipping to arrive in time for Christmas. As our warehouses are in the UK and USA, this applies to our customers in these locations. If you’d rather choose a quicker, tracked service we offer a range of delivery options that can be selected at checkout.

For customers in Europe and the rest of the world who want to order in time for the holidays, you can select one of our express tracked services at checkout but, depending on your location, we can’t guarantee the order will reach you in time. When selecting a shipping option, please check the estimated delivery times shown next to each option before placing your order.

If you feel like treating yourself, remember you can buy digital editions of our books at any time and they’ll be delivered straight to your inbox within a few minutes.

Five Simple Steps HQ will be closed between Friday, 21 December 2012 and Monday, 7 January 2013. We’ll respond to customer queries over the holidays, but we might not be able to get back to you as quickly as normal.

Finally, just a quick note for customers in the USA and rest of the world. Paperback copies of A Practical Guide to Managing Web Projects are set to start shipping from our US warehouses from the first week of January, so you don’t have too much longer to wait.

Happy holidays!
