A few free books....

I'm stock taking and clearing part of my unit to make way for new stock. Those books that are being removed are offered for free, you simply pay the standard P&P.

It's a mixed bag to be honest and you can get an idea of this weeks current list below. Of course, some of these have gone (offered to current members of my list - see the site to join up!) now but you can see what's left at my shiny new site.

If there's something of interest then you can check whether it's still available and what the P&P will be at the site.
