These are surplus to my needs (and my mother twisted my ear to shed some stuff).
Books range from soft cover mag style to hardcovers some are very clean some well thumbed.
The postage cost of most would probably outweigh their value. So, if there is a garden-starter who does not mind a somewhat mixed bunch of stuff, who could collect the whole lot from the Gold Coast, or has someone else who could do for them, that would be ideal for me. Failing that I will deal with individual wants, but there are no rare and exotic titles here, just some basic reference & info guides.
Otherwise they will probably get rejected by the 2nd hand dealers and go to land-fill, which would be a shame.
the list (no particular order)
PS this means * small to medium size & this ##### large

Do you have any geranium books?

Hello Annie,
Didn't get your message or this one of 29th either(they usually come through automatically). Maybe a problem?
Sorry all the books are gone anyway. |
