Over the last 60 years or more I have built up a large private collection of music and other books. This has included often inheriting music that would otherwise have gone in the skip, resulting in multiple copies of many works.  I now need to downsize this collection, and I'm happy to let the music listed below go merely for the cost of carriage.
If you are interested in acquiring any of these, please email me with your address details, and I will let you know the carriage cost and payment details.



All the copies are useable, some are almost new, but most are well-used and many date from before 1960.
