When Mair came to Cambridge, she took the opportunity to get rid of a lot of books she didn't want to have any more, to the voracious bibliovores of Cantabridgia. I've got these in keeping, and the aim is to give them away, so if anyone wants any, they are welcome. At some point I will take the residue to a charity shop. (Thus helpfully breaking my never-got-rid-of-books virginity, and helping me get rid of a few of mine. *One*, a good duplicate, I added to this pile :))

The list is here: http://mair-aw.livejournal.com/118145.html

ETA: On reflection, you had best first comment over there so Mair can cross it off. But ask here about physically getting it :)

Can I have the politically correct bedtime stories, please?

Of course. Actually, could you comment over there so Mair can cross it off?

I'm not sure when I'll next see you. Do you want to come by to pick it up, or shall I give it to Ian or someone?

I'm probably-probably going to bits of Recombination, and I'm probably-probably coming to Pizza on Monday. Otherwise Ian's a good bet.

Thanks.

OK. I'm going to Recombination, but may or may not manage to take books. If not I'll find an intermediary, probably in the Carlton on Thursday.

May I please have

The collapse of chaos, Jack Cohen and Ian Stewart
Fermat's last theorem, Simon Singh

What's the best way of me getting them off you?

Thanks

Of course. Can you comment on Mair's post too?

I'm not sure when I'll see you next. If you're in the Carlton I can give them to you then, otherwise come round some evening when I'm free and pick them up.

Hi Jack,

I'd like the Malorie Blackmans (I've commented on Mair's post)

I'm seeing [livejournal.com profile] angoel next week, and [livejournal.com profile] angoel is going to Reconbination. So pretty pretty pretty please you could take the books to reconbination and give them to Sebby? I know you said to Aldabra you didn't really want to lug books to Reconbination, and I understand that, but I live in Coventry, so my logistics are a bit more complicated.

Actually, if that doesn't work, I'm hopefully seeing [livejournal.com profile] arnhem next week too. I don't know if you could shove them through his letter box (it's near Cavesson Court, I can email you where if that'll work)

Yay, books!

Yay, thank you Jack! I have safely received and read them now :-)

I have bagged some, and would like to (a) see you (b) return your book and (c) pick up the mairbooks :)

I'll be in Cambridge 25-27th. Any chance of visiting you then?

That's this weekend? I think I'm still free on Sunday, you could come visit me in the afternoon or evening then *cuddle*

Evening, please :) *cuddles*

Unfortunately, my Saturday plans have changed to Sunday. I'm sorry, blame it all on my London friend :( Sunday can't be done. What are you doing on Saturday?

Saturday's plans are: leave Worthing and go to Essex to pick up some stuff, from there to Suffolk (2 visits) and then eventually to Kendal Way a bit late for a bbq...

Monday?
Unless you'd like to come to a Debiangeek bbq on Saturday evening?
