I'll reply properly tomorrow, but mainly countryside/natural history/antiques and stuff like that. I have a load of books to clear out, either going to charity or maybe sell any that are actually likely to be worth selling. Condition variable!
Ok, great. Countryside/natural history could be a winner, anything about Scotland too, uk/northern european travel writing, maps in useable condition, food blender, nest of tables, cuddly toy...

Right, well it looks a paltry selection of tatty rubbish that's to hand at present. I doubt there will be anything to float your boat, but here goes:

Maps (these are the only non-wrecked duplicates):

Landranger 40 - Loch Shiel (1984 edition, but let's face it not much has changed). Cover has minor creasing at the edges, otherwise decent enough

Landranger 116 - Denbigh & Colwyn Bay (1997). Clean and tidy, with some minor scuffing on the corners

Books (condition is generally best described by the adjective "musty"):

"I Travel The Road" - Robert Barr (1945). Hardback 172 pages. Post-war travelogue of Britain

"In Search of Romantic Britain" - A.S. Jenkinson (1936). Hardback 251 pages. Pre-War travelogue of rural Britain

"Voyage Into England" - John Seymour (1966). Hardback, dust jacket 154 pages. Travelogue of England by canal and river boat

"Travel in England" - Thomas Burke (1942). Hardback 153 pages. History of travel in England from prehistoric times (briefly) to current

"The Highways and Byways of England" - TW Wilkinson (undated, but presented 1917). Hardback 270 pages. History of roads in England from Roman to date

"The Story of Melton Mowbray" - Philip E. Hunt (1957). Hardback 143 pages. History of Melton Mowbray.

"Stories & Tales of Old Birmingham" - Robert K Dent (originally compiled 1880, this edition 1994). Softback 128 pages.
