Books seeking homes :) Misc. genres (Edinburgh EH17)

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 titles below or take books for folks you know, feel free to drop me a message. (This is not a bundle book pick-up but there might be more of those posted in the future.)

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.


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,

L.
