    Got lots of ‘adventure’ books in an old cupboard doing nowt. All are immaculate just sitting there.
    Most are expidition climbing themes, but there are other titles that might interest that type of reader.
    Plus some books on cars and historic racing.

    Seems silly them sat there, but don’t want to car boot them?

    have a look on some of the mountaineering s/h book sellers’ web sites – some older books go for well into the hundreds.

    I have a mate who dabbles in polar and mountaineering books. See here

    Might be worth giving him a shout see if you anything that might be worth something.

    If you have an extreme rock I’ll give you a tenner for it though… 😉

    Blimey that’s a list your mate has. Mine are contemporary reads. A couple of quid each I guess.

    Ah well, at least you’ve got an idea of what they’re worth then. :mrgreen:

    Immaculate should add a couple of quid though I’d’ve thought.

    Post em up on classifieds and link back to here perhaps?

    Wow!

    £300 for “Extreme Rock”. I know the original plates were destroyed so reprinting isn’t possible. Might hang onto my copy for a bit longer…

    Stuartie, spoke to my mate and that’s a misprint, should only be £30.

    Who do I make the cheque out to…?

    😉
