New home for Swallow:
Private sale of a significant portion of my Ransome-related collection, due to divorce and down-sizing. You may ask for photos via WhatsApp (07854 803365) or Facebook Messenger and we can agree a fair price, so that you won't pay more than similar books on eBay.
Collect from Farnham, Surrey, UK almost any day of the week
Collect from any tourist spot in central London on alternate Saturdays 10am-3pm
Collect from a TARS event, if I am going
I can post with Royal Mail as second class "small parcel" - please add £3.50 for delivery.
Payment by bank transfer or Paypal (using any debit/credit card, without needing an account) to merlinrocket@gmail.com please. Then I might have enough to glue up my boat and finally go sailing again!
