VAT, Customs Duty, Excise Duty, Import Duty

I'm thinking of buying an old childrens book from the USA, cost around £250, and trying to find out how much extra I'll have to pay by way of VAT or Duty. I've been trying to read up on this via Google but I'm even more confused now than I was to start with.

Something you can't do much about.........
a buyer opened a 'not received' case against one of my sales, a Parcelforce delivery as it happens. Tracking wasn't any help at all, so I rang them.....the van carrying my parcel had been stolen!
