Doug Finds Books - First Editions and Collectable books

AUTUMN/WINTER READING-New Books.

Good Day to everyone ! and welcome to the merry month of May ! Whilst it has not turned cold yet it will ! but console yourself with the fact that our winters are short.Nevertheless it is a good time to read a book and pay a visit to your friendly local bookseller or in the comfort of your home you can scan the internet (www.dougfindsbooks.com) or enter into the realms of Bid or Buy where you will find me amongst others (no difference in price).As I have said before,I think,
that the incredible range of books that are available is absolutely staggering,whether old or new.In my case I am adding books at the rate of at least 50 a month and replacing those that I have previously sold(where I can find them).
This month I can welcome more new recent first time buyers and I hope that they will find these monthly newsletters useful.
Due to my recent indisposition I rather neglected my book blog(Doug's Africana and collectable books)I am now catching up so it is worth a look.Nothing too fancy but some information about authors, books and the book world. If there is anything you would like to see drop me an 'e'.With so many people buying books to collect and cherish I will be including something about book care.Watch out for it !
I am taking the liberty this month of listing a selection of recently added books and also a list of some that will be included shortly.
Have a look you may find a book you have been looking for.
