Welcome to our new Topsy-Turvy catalogue.   ♦  SALLY’S SPECIALS  – see the last part of my listings for an interesting selection of titles for adults!  ♦  We are continuing with arrangements for our conference in August 2012, and hope to see lots of you there.  ♦  Titles underlined are NEW books.  ♦  Postage is extra, charged at cost.  Payment in sterling is due when you receive the books (please return books within 7 days if you think they are not as described). Overseas customers; payment is due on receipt of invoice.  ♦  Even if you cannot get in touch when you receive the catalogue, it is still well worth contacting us later to place an order.

PLEASE NOTE: thank you to everyone who’s enquired about my mother’s hip operation; it’s been successful in relieving her pain, but she’s still very weak and recovering slowly, so I’m still visiting a lot.

I am always looking out for books like those in the catalogue, so please think of me if you have any to sell, whether just one or two or a whole lot.
