any questions or requests for photos please email me I will help in any way I can
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. if you’ve had a book and you’re happy with it please comment as it may help.
Linda, it might be useful if you can post a (brief) summary of which books remain to be sold - it gets a little difficult keeping track on threads like this.
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.
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.
I'd second your comments. Meticulous packaging & books always per description. Added to this, a very flexible approach to purchase and delivery...and all in for an excellent charity.
This post expires on Saturday the 12th, if you are still thinking about something just mail me?
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)
