BITS 'N' BOBS FOR SALE
Over the years I've built up quite a collection of this, that and the other - which much of it relegated to the darkness of my loft.
I have now decided it's time to have a good thin out and I'm happy to offer the following items for sale to visitors of Little Willie's website rather than putting them on eBay. I have a fairly extensive collection of books, which I must thin out. And also a very large collection of vintage cameras, some dating back to the First World War. Also, when I can get around to it there will be some Bantam bits and pieces, but I'll start with a few car maintenance books up for grabs, so here goes. Please note: once I've been able to check the postage and packing costs etc (all items will be mailed in a Jiffy-Bag or similar), I'll add prices for each item, so, please, bear with me. |

Lakeland FellsA pictorial guide to the Western Fells, written and beautifully illustrated by
A Wainwright, published by Michael Joseph, London. A hard-back book in the Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells series, sized 180mm x 120mm, but how many pages? That, I cannot say as the pages are not numbered. What I can say is there are a great many pages and it would take me all night to count them. Why? Because I would become so engrossed in the pages I would soon lose count!
Each and every page has been lavishly illustrated by the author, and, if you like fell-walking this is for you! Apart from colour-fading on the dust-cover spine, the book is in excellent condition. If you wish to know more, please use the Contact Form. Price (Inclusive of p & p: £8.99 |
