Hello All,
Sadly my father passed away recently and now we're in the process of finding a new home for his impressive collection of GWR books and magazines and Bus/Trolley Bus books.
If anyone is interested in these books, please let me know. I'm only in the UK until the 24/6, so before then, I would be willing to split the collection. After that, the collection will only be sold as a whole.
As regards offers, that's really up to you - I appreciate the books only have value to a small and diminishing group of fans, so all reasonable offers will be considered. The books (95%) of them were kept in a cabinet behind glass doors and are in excellent condition for their age.
Please contact me via PM or on 07517 987706
