Hi All
I'm having to sell part of my book collection, down sizing house resisted the missus for years, but now have to do something about it as you can guess its extensive, for example I've THE SECOND WORLD WAR: An Illustrated History of WWII. Ten Volumes, Complete, printed by trident in 2000, also the ww1 set.  Would this be of interest to people on the forum.  It goes from the funcken chivalry, naps to ww1 sets to the Times History of the Boer war.

Sorry to hear it. Put up a list for us mortals to have a look

yes that will take time

Always interested in books, so a list would be of interest.

Instead of a list, how about pictures instead?

Absolutely great idea 

I was about to suggest using an app like "book" crawler - but this is a simpler and faster way.

>>Instead of a list, how about pictures instead?

I use this method to keep a record of my book collection in case some of them
get nicked and I have to prove ownership.   Take a few pics, stash them
somewhere safe and voila !

At the risk of invoking the wrath of Mrs Orcs, I would be interested.

We have 7 book cases in the dining room and I have 6 of them.  I also have 36 feet of shelving in my den, so I do have some space.

I hope I can help you fill the void

Get an embossed 'ex libris' stamp, bit difficult to argue with. BTW my Chandler's 'Campaigns of Napoleon' got nicked by someone I knew in 1986 or thereabouts, I won it as a school prize in 1973, if anyone sees it ...

I'll have pics up for about a third of them later I need leons help
