So you have all signed up then?

Possibly not, as no-one has requested my copy of "sheep shearing for the deaf" by "anon" (published by F & G Stoat & nephew, Birkenhead 1928) that I could easilly sell on fleabay for 38p plus ?98 C&P.

I did PM you all abut this but now I will have to profit by a sale.

Peasants.



Yes I signed up this afternoon ~ now the battle is on as to which books I am prepared to offer up. This is the hard part. cry:

No it aint. Just remember that the type of books you will be able to swap will be reflected from your own list of books.

I tried putting the wifes books up rather than mine but only got swap requests for similar material.

You will have to be strong.  scared2:

I like the look of that!!!!









Trouble is I can't bear to part with a book once I've got it. I hate using the library for that reason. I just love reading it, putting it on the shelves and thinking I'll read that again one day. Bloody sad b@st@rd I know.  ::)

Agreed. I have never disposed of a a book in my life. Which is why I still possess a copy of Grapefruit bought when I was 16. Could it be worth something?

The Yoko Ono one? If so then between ?40 - ?60 according to amazon.

No accounting for taste is there?
