Updates
6th June 2023Many books have been uploaded during the last 6 months (how can it be 6 months?) although I hadn't updated the front page ... so now I'm doing so. I've also (I hope) removed all the books sold from my last catalogue.
My new catalogue finally came out in April this year and went/is going well. I'm already working on the next list of Joy Wotton's books which will be authors C to K plus non-fiction books on Guiding, Dancing (mostly Country) and London. The email only list is finished but now I'm pricing them all (below my normal prices as with the first list) and checking the books on the list are actually the same as the books in the boxes; you'd be surprised how many books go walkabout, change author or title or vanish completely. If you'd like to receive a copy of either catalogue please drop me an email as above.
The many books I've uploaded recently include the remainder of my late mother's E J Oxenham, L M Montgomery and E Nesbit titles, almost all first editions. There are also many new Girls Gone By titles and those by other reissuing publishers. They are all in the New and Shop-soiled/2nd hand sections (links can be found by clicking 'Ordering' at the top of the page). Hope to hear from people soon!

I'm still working on the new catalogue of Gill Bilski Books (as opposed to Joy's books). I was hoping to get it out before Christmas but fear it will be a bit later than that. The main problem is that it's so long since the last one, books have wandered from where they should be and my bookroom isn't really big enough to turn out every box to find them. Then I'm 3 or 4 pages further on and the wandering books reappear from the strangest places which means moving everything ... it's very frustrating and, if books stayed where I put them, it would be a lot simpler :D
I've uploaded some new titles today and have also reduced the price of many books as I continue with the catalogue. (I haven't reached non-fiction, annuals or reissues yet).
