Books, books, books are here again after a period of unwell. Back to the saddle now - if you are interested in giving a kind new home to some of the below titles or even to just one, or take some books for folks you know, feel free to drop me a message.
Handovers are at the shops at Gilmerton Dykes Street for now, EH17 8PL
The best times for me are Thursday mornings and Saturday afternoons but there’s also some time Wednesday and Monday mornings.
This one is not the book-bundle type give away, please pick titles you’d like to read or someone you know would like to read. (There might be some bundle giveaways in the future, still.)
Titles are listed according to genres :)
I will post some Hungarian language books as well in a separate post./Fogok majd magyar nyelvű könyveket is feltenni. Köszi.
Literally,
