Fortean books and mags

[WombleSenior]

Hello all, I'm being badgered by the wife to clear out the hall cupboard where my beloved books have lived for a few years too long. I had to conecede that I'm not going to re-read them or embark on any great research project that justifies keeping them.

I'll post the ones I'm selling in a few batches so if anyone is interested then PM me or reply here and I'll give more info.

I'm located in central London (hence the lack of space, but that's another issue) but can post no problem.

thanks

Iain

That's the lot - sad to think that summarises all the happy hours of reading and educating that these books have given me.

If anyone wants some of these then PM me and we can sort something out.

thanks

Iain

 

[WombleSenior]

OK, I have sold a few of these now and the rest are going to be offered up free to a good home - otherwise known as fellow Forteans (have you ever been called a good home before?).

If any of you want the books above then you can have them for either the cost of postage or can drop by and pick them up (I'm in Chelsea during the working day and in London E1 in the evenings).

First come first serve.

thanks

Iain

Hello, I am always interested in Forteana. I have a decent collection that I would like to add to. I live in Wichita, Ks USA. I realize that mail is expensive and would appreciate any offers of books for sale trade or donation. I would be happy to send money via paypal or by other means.

Danielle - I have sent you a PM so we can talk about this.

Guys - the magazines are spoken for now as are the spiritualist books, but there are still plenty left if anyone wants them.

thanks
