How to order 
Before writing to the publisher or distributor see if a local resource centre has the resource or can order it locally. Where the resource entry has the international standard book number (ISBN) for books or the international standard serial number (ISSN) for newsletters a local bookseller may be able to order it for you. Healthlink Worldwide and the Hand-in-Hand Network do not distribute the resources listed in this pack except our own publications.

If payment is required 
Even if a price is listed for a resource, single copies may be available free to people in developing countries. Where funds for resource materials are limited it is often worth writing to the producer or supplier explaining the situation and requesting a complementary copy or subscription (see sample letter below). Some suppliers will allow material to be reviewed before deciding whether to keep it and pay, or to return it. This is a useful option if there is doubt about whether the material is worth the cost or whether it suits your needs.

How to send payments abroad 
Contact the supplier to confirm the forms of payment they accept. Most overseas suppliers will accept an international money order. Some may also accept a cheque drawn from a bank based in their country, or from a US dollar account. Some suppliers accept major credit cards such as Visa or Access/MasterCard.
