I am seriously down-sizing my library. I managed to clear about 90% of the books I took to the 2025 AES Annual Exhibition. Here are a few left-overs that were not snapped up.
Please email me at bugmanjones@hotmail.com and I will calculate postage and send an invoice. I have given weights so you can get a feel for the level of postage that might be required.
