I love adding books to my web site. There is still much work to be done
there. With permission, or with credit given, I would love to use any photos
that I am permitted to use.

Drake;

Andrew Nash maintains an excellent site devoted to collecting Verne here
http://www.julesverne.ca I have quite a pile of Pear's Soap editions as well
and we should probably update both Andrew's list of all titles that had a
Pear's Soap edition and ensure that he has images of all of the titles (if
he wants them).

I also wish I had some spare cash to add Tony's books to my collection!

Tony,

I would be very interested in your books, but as a high school student with
more Vernian enthusiasm than money, I am afraid that I would not be able to
make an acceptable offer for your collection. However, I think that a list
of titles and some pictures would be of interest to other potential buyers
here on the forum. I understand that posting pictures here is difficult due
to the size restrictions, but if you could email them to me personally I can
upload them to a directory on one of my websites and post a link to it.
Please let me know and I would be glad to help. Have a great day, everyone!

Over ten years ago I purchased 18 of a series of Jules Verne books published
by Sampson Low, Marsten, Searle & Rivington, Crown buildings, Fetter Lane
then 188 Fleet Street, London dated from 1882 to 1895. The Pears soap
editions. They are in fair condition (some ingrained dirt in the spines and
a little in the covers). I also received a copy of The Clipper of the clouds
by the same publisher circa 1919 . It is without D/W but has a part of the
coloured D/W pasted inside the cover opposite the fly leaf.

I can give you a detailed list with images but I thought I'd touch base
first. I'm about to move house and store my things and am reluctantly
prepared to sell these books. They aren't worth a huge amount, but they are
in Australia. I'd prefer they went to a good home.

If any of your forum members is interested, please get in touch.

Regards

Tony Stewart
