Price: £35.00
A consolidated list of what I still have left for sale from various posts since the start of the year, along with a few additions. The most interesting stuff is first, followed by some vintage collectors items, finally there is a load of cheaper older guidebooks listed at the end. Descriptions are minimal so PM for details.
Since some of the old guidebooks are either free or only £1-£2, none of the prices include postage for simplicity. Reasonable offers, especially for collection in Oxford (or nearby) or for multiple items are gladly received.
