Sally’s
Catalogue
October / November 2014
Please contact me to order at
Welcome to my autumn catalogue, updated in February 2015. It
was great fun seeing so many of our customers at the Bristol conference in July,
and the feedback was very positive, so we are planning another one in 2016!
I’ve arranged some of my catalogue differently this time, to reflect the talks
that were given at the conference, as I know they piqued people’s interest in
the very varied topics. I hope you find
something that appeals to you in the large selection of books here, including
an interesting range of titles for adults in the last part.
Please
note that I can take payment by bank transfer or Paypal as well as cheque if
you wish – ask for details.
Titles underlined are NEW books. Postage is extra, charged at cost. Payment is due when you receive the books (I
am happy to take payment by Bank Transfer). Please return books within 7 days
if you think they are not as described. NB I can’t always get to the post
office easily these days, so apologies if it takes me a while to post
everything out.
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.
