Book swap

[lnr]

I have these two Discworld novels in hardback. I have all the rest in paperback. This bugs me, I'm a sucker for things matching. If anyone likes hardbacks I'd like to either a) swap these for the paperbacks or b) sell them for what the paperbacks would cost me, say a fiver each.

Any takers?

Oh and if you click through the rest of the gallery has lots of photos of my mum's garden, and a photo of the lads as close as they got to flying. The weather didn't co-operate, so they just got to have a look at the plane and be shown the controls instead, we'll be trying again the first weekend in June, since we're up for my grandparents' diamond wedding anniversary. It was a nice weekend anyway, good company and good food. Last weekend was nice too, with Jan and Owen's birthday party being easily good enough to make up for the 7 hours on very hot coaches getting there and back. This weekend will be a quiet one to catch our breath a little. Shame the sun didn't last though, although our garden is happy for a bit of rain.

I read pretty much anything :-) It's a shame I don't have all my books catalogued so you could see what I've got, must get round to that some day. When I next have some copious free time perhaps.

Here's some examples: I like good kids books (Susan Cooper, Alan Garner, Diana Wynne Jones, Philip Pullman), I like SF and fantasy (Iain M Banks, Alastair Reynolds, Tad Williams, Tolkien, even David Eddings, especially Neil Gaiman), I like modern novelists (Margaret Atwood, Carol Shields, Mark Haddon) and classic stuff (Jane Austen, assorted Brontes), graphic novels are great too (Preacher, Strangers in Paradise, anything by Alan Moore).

Actually if you had any Banks (or M Banks) I'd love it, I only have Dead Air and The Steep Approach to Garbadale cos I've read most of the rest on loan, but I suspect you'd not be wanting to get rid of it :-)

I have a double of Excession (? I think. Not one of the two you have, anyway) (bad charity shopping habit, I spot them in charity shops and buy them for 50p without being too certain about whether or not I have them already) Do you want it?

If you don't want it then sure, do you want one of the Pratchett's for it?

The idea is to Get Rid Of Books (a heretical one, I know). You appear to have a taker for The Truth, and I didn't really like the Last Continent anyway. Give me 50p if you really care, but I think I'll survive without ;-)

I'll be at the veizla, if you'll be there for book delivery?

I won't be, and I'm not even sure when it is, so I might not be in Cambridge. If I am you'd be welcome to pop round for coffee. Otherwise I'm sure someone will pass it on, or you could just drop it through the letterbox.

I gave it to Aldabra, as Kathy's school is quite near your place. At some point it might turn up through your letterbox :-)

Indeed it has already. She tried to give me it in person when we bumped into each other on Monday but had the wrong bag with her :-) Thanks to you both!
