Does anyone want a job lot of books?

I am getting rid of about 80 to 90 books so if anyone wants them and can save me a trip to the charity shop they can pick them up from me in Potters Bar. Would need to be today or tomorrow ideally. A real mix but a lot of crime books!

bodiddly, put them on St Albans Freecycle, if you are not registered and don't want to, I will do it for you. Someone will snap them up!

Are they all recent, only read once etc, or old etc?

I have 100's to get rid of too!

what do you have?

bodiddly · 05/05/2009 14:20

I registered years ago alibubbles but can't remember what user name and address I used - I know I no longer have the details on the yahoo account I opened to register. Perhaps I need to re-register. They have largely been read two or possibly three times (me, my mum and my mate) - though some only once. Will go and check sparklygothkat.

I've got a load of books I am going to take to the Oxfam bookshop if you like I could pick them up and drop them off with mine.

Similar taste in reading!

Do you need help to get shot of them?

I don't mind picking them up and taking them to the Oxfam book shop in St Albans

bodiddly · 05/05/2009 19:27

thanks for the offers of help alibubbles and chuckeyegg but dp can drop them into oxfam or cancer research tomorrow with any luck. I have taken a couple of days off to have a clear out and ebay session and these were my first stage! I can't see any point trying to car boot them hence the charity shop! I will have hundreds more to get rid of when dp gets them down from the loft. I hate parting with them but we just don't have the space. Whereabouts are you chuckeyegg? I never hear of anyone else around here!

I'm in St Albans but my mum and dad live in Oakwood so I'm always driving through Potters Bar and use to work in Darkes Lane. So I know it very well.

bodiddly · 05/05/2009 21:19

bodiddly · 05/05/2009 21:56

Im just wondering if dp is likely to be up your way at all for work this week? If he is - have you got anywhere he could leave them if you are out?

OP posts:
SparklyGothKat · 05/05/2009 22:00
