    Having spent twenty quid on Pen and Sword books, I need to make some room on my shelves and fill the room in my wallet! So I offer for sale:

    Condition
    Ex – excellent condition, read once.
    VG – shows some wear, may have small marks on dust jacket or cover, etc – it has been read.
    Fair – worn covers, may have foxing, etc – mostly older books – it has been read a lot!
    Note: in general the hard cover books are over 750 grams and therefore need to go as small parcels (up to 2 kg) – first class £5.50, second £2.95. Most paperbacks can go as large letters, £2.60/2.22. Wrappers will have been used!
