Hi

any great ideas on where I can sell mums collection of Scottish rural/old/western isles books

There are several online sellers of old and valuable books and can't you sell old books through Amazon as well?

There's also a huge second hand bookshop in Alnwick station (closer to Scotland) and loads in places like Ross on Wye.

What are the books anyway?
