I’m ‘downsizing’ and it seems a shame to give speciality books to Oxfam, so they’re up for grabs here.
For a bit of fairness, anyone can ask by private message for one particular book and more or less the first one gets it. Asking for more than one, or for any book, gets none.
I will post it to you, but the deal is you promise that when the book arrives you look at the postage, add a quid for packing and then give at least that sum to any charity you like. I do not recognise your local publican’s retirement fund, nor your microcar club’s spares register as charities…. If you sell them on, you promise to give that money to charity too.
I guess this is a UK-only offer as otherwise the postage might get a bit extreme. I won’t know if you do this, but as you would effectively be stealing from a charity if you don’t do it, eternal damnation seems a likely outcome.
Probably the cream of the crop is this period owner’s operation/maintenance guide on Schmitts, Trojans and Isettas.

The rest are contemporary but may be of interest.

Hpe you received PM about the 57 road test book. Cheers
-
Hi again,
If no one else wants the books then maybe I can take them all
Please let me know
Thanks
-
Fair enough - that's all books taken.
Richard (as in 'richard') - I'm still waiting to receive your address.
-
Awfully sorry sent by pm . When I first enquired I didn't like to presume . Good idea
-
Thank you Andrew G
I will look forward o reading thes books
-
yep you could do with some LERNING :D
-
Richard
Explain your previous comment please.
I do hope it is a jest .....
-
Of course a jest my friend . Meant to be a flippant remark about your mis-spelt remarks just previously. Nothing meant really
-
What it is, is that my keypad is on the blink, and sometimes I type o fast and only skim the letter and not press hard enough.
Lol,
-
Yep I make a lot of mistakes using my blackberry - I only just found why its called that - loads of tiny black buttons

Damn, wrong street!

Hi Andrew, in return for the books, of which I gracefully received from you, I have donated £20.00 to the BHF as my wife suffers from heart failure. And when I have finished reading I will donate the books also, of which tey will sell them for £3.00 each making a total of £32.00 donated to the British heart foundation
I hope you are in agreement with this, as this is the charity run I am doing next year in a reliant/ hopefully Berkeley
-
When you have finished reading them, I would like to buy them from you at £12 plus postage.
When finished I would like to sell them and donate the proceeds to BHF.
And so-on?
-
An even more brilliant idea
But you must make the donation to the BHF that is my choice, then you ask te next person to a charity of your choice
Agreed
That way, a few charities will benifit.
-
Agreed.
But, I would stick with BHF for these books.
Put a sheet inside with a brief guidline and sign by each owner perhaps..........
-
That sounds very good Barry
I will initiate that listings page, and we will let the books make the money
So all proceeds to BHF
Can we start making a list now
1. Me, bobbydog 20.00. Donated
2. Barry.
Please add your next name to the list
And thank you, as tesco says every little helps.
-
