UPDATED 29. 01. 08

These books are from my own collection: I intend to update this list approximately every three weeks, so do keep looking! This catalogue is divided into several sections: Hardbacks, Ladybird Books, Paperbacks, and Annual/story collections. Within each section, titles are listed alphabetically by author, apart from the Ladybird books which are organised by series number.

I hope that as you browse, you will see something that you want; I do take wants lists, so feel free to contact me if there is a special something for which you are searching. I may be able to help.

I have tried to describe the books listed as accurately as possible. Please bear in mind that many of these titles are old and that children's books in particular can have a hard life! If you feel that you would like more detail than is supplied below, please contact me and I will try to help.

Happy book hunting!
