Hi Helen.

Nice collection.

Posting a few pics of your books along with some sample prices inc postage required may start things moving for you.

Or put them onto ebay where lots of potential buyers can see them and post a link to your ebay page here.

Best Wishes

Pete

Hi Helen,
Another suggestion. Look up each of those books in the Cave to ensure your information is correct. I think some you listed as 1st editions may be later editions. The Cave is a wonderful source for this information.
Good luck
