where good to sell Angela Brazil etc books

[UniSarah]

I have discovered I own some 1950 ish hardback with dustjackets girls school stories by Angela Brazil and E brent dyer. I'm wondering about selling them rather than sending them to local charity shop. any one got any ideas on where I might get some interest in them? I don;t think they are worth much but even few quid would be nice.

I can vouch for Stella and Rose as being super to deal with and giving a fair price

other than that you may like to try your luck on eBay but it is a buyer's market on there ATM I find

Chalet ones always do Ok on ebay or possibly through ABEbooks

Thankd F&Z I'm giving them a try. Have complied a list and sent it to them. finger crossed they will be interested in some.

Oh let us know if you have any madly valuable stuff

in fact just let us know anyway, it is interesting if you are nosy like me

what did you have? [nosy emoticon]

At school on the ocean - Alfred judd, The new house Mistress- E B dyer - The manor house school - Angela brazile, Blackie girls companion mid-late 1940s, Every girls book of sport 1951, Scout family Robinson -FH Dimmock. Some 1920s school text books, some 1970s Annuals and tufy club books.
And a few other books from 1950s.
Thers also a history of Middlesex from 1937 and a british boys annual from 1914 that are in very poor condition
I went through a phase in the 1980s of buying books in charity shops for pence because they looked old.

Have you heard anything back yet?

not yet, but it's only been 2 working days and they are not a big outfit, will contact them again if not heard anything in a week or two. soem one might be on holiday after all.

Well stella and rose didn't want them, so will try one or two more bookshops then decide what to do. , unless any one wishes to send me an SAE for any of them? I can let you know how heavey so you put enough stamps on.
