Need free books for disadvantaged teens off to vet med school

I work for an amazing charity that helps disadvantaged teens get to top unis. I want a couple of new or used books - james Heriot and the like - for my wannabe vets. Drawn a blank with amazon. Who else can I approach for new or used copies of these books? Will need about 30 in total.

Will James Heriot really help them get to vet school?

Ha! No. A bit dated too. Try Abe Books. I’d be planning what they need to do to get in though and don’t encourage no hopers. That’s not fair.

I'd have thought James Heriot was more likely to put them off! 😂😂

Try local charity shops and see if they'll let you take a bundle for a donation, or ask on FB free stuff.

I loved those books but I don’t think they’d be very relevant to vet medicine today!

Ebay. Loads on there.
