 BOOKS
BOUGHT
Whilst we buy a wide range of books we are particularly interested
in:
Good quality modern and historical fiction
Enid Blyton, Biggles and Classic Illustrated Children's books.
History, military and war books,
classic cookery, art, architecture, design and photography.
Motor and aircraft
Acceptable
minimum condition of books is not easy to state. Title is
more important than condition, though obviously books in better
condition will be worth more
Paperback
fiction should be in at least very good condition though scruffier
copies of George Orwell, Clockwork Orange, William Burroughs,
Catcher in the Rye, To Kill a Mockingbird, Catch-22 etc will
usually be accepted unless falling apart
