Hi guys, I have done a cleanout of my book drawers and after failing to get any worth from Amazon, eBay etc, rather than throw them to a charity shop, I have thought of my fellow book lovers and am offering up the following 21 books for free, on a first come first served basis. If you see a book or books you like, just reply stating what you want and I will cross it off the list and post them to you (PM me your post details). Cost of post is not a problem as I have a good friend who works for An Post :wink:

All books are in quite good condition and no pages are torn, missing or creased. I will leave this thread up for a month, enjoy!

I am in Mexico, but I get my mail in the states. Mexican mail is slow and not very dependable. Everything goes to Mexico City to be sorted, sometimes it takes months to get mail from the states. Its a 400 mile drive to National city, I go there about once a month to get my mail and dog food. Thanks Mike, I will enjoy those books.

If 84 Charing Cross road is available could I have that one as well. My copy had an accident with a thermos full of red cordial. :(
Thanks so much.
