One of the Rock Climbers in Action in Snowdonia is now sold. ( both are signed by John Cleare).
If I sell an expensive book I try to deliver it ( if possible) and I usually take a lemon drizzle cake as a thank you. The recipient of Changabang was happy with his cake today!
only a couple of days left on this post now but some great books still for sale. 🙏
