Magnus selling his books
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.
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
If you really want it posting, and it fits Royal Mail's definition of "small parcel" (most books do) then please add £3 for second class delivery.
Payment by 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!
