Do you know anyone who wants ..................

[queencharlotte]

My collection, amassed over 40 years, of all the novels by Mrs. Henry Wood. I would like them to go to someone who wants them rather than donate to a charity shop and them be sold piecemeal, or binned.

Had to look this author up queencharlotte then realized I had read East Lynne many, many moons ago. Not sure just who would want them, but worth going through a bookseller like Abebooks to check it out. There may be collectors out there who would love them. I have collected all the Nevil Shute books over the years and would hate to see them binned. Good luck.

You could try selling them on Ebay (although you may want to either sell them as collection only or make sure you're covered for postage costs)

Many thanks for both your answers, which I did attempt to follow up, still without success. Fortunately Exeter University English Faculty would like most of them, and I shall have to give the rest to a charity bookshop. Shame to separate the collection, but poor Mrs HW (an excellent author) is just not wanted.
