If you see anything that you would like but it’s too expensive-please ask me about it? If I can lower the price I will. These books need to be turned into cash for Nepal if possible.

> The Black Cliff now sold. Thank you

I received 'The Black Cliff' in the post this morning. The book is exactly as described, and the packaging was brilliant: that parcel could have been hit by a nuclear strike, and the book would have survived unscathed.

Thanks, Linda!

OP Linda Orritt 02 Nov 2022
In reply to Linda Orritt:

If anyone would like to look at the dearer books or any book, before they buy. Please ask? I will be at Kendal mountain festival all weekend and can bring it/them along for you to look at.

plus I can sell the Bates ‘Five Miles High’ for £270 and still make a little for CAN ( this book signed is normally £400 or more as it is very rare signed)
