I recently moved houses, but I left stuff behind, that I have been meaning to give away. Unfortunately, I have been dragging my feet. I have learnt my little brother has been plotting for my old room, I am told by our father I have 14 days after which my brother cannot be faulted for chucking my stuff out.
Traitorous rat will be dealt with but I need to prevent a massive qasaaro first.
I figure what better place then here, SomaliSpot. As I mentioned I have less than 14 days, and books are not the only things I need to get rid of, so speed is critical.
If this goes well and speedy, then I will be able to make new threads for the other stuff.
Shipping
I want to keep shipping within the UK, because I am not residing in London, my little sister will be overseeing it, and since I dont want any of you trying to shukansii my sister, no local picks up allowed. SorryThere might that one person outside of the UK, who may deserve this material the most, if you take responsibility for customs, tracking, et all. then I will consider it.
Of course, you will be paying delivery fees. I will pay for packaging though.
Since I have been using these books myself, some have mild wear and tear, worst examples are example 1, example 2, example 3.
Also, during my studies, I would do digital drawings, print them on tracing paper and then insert these pages into the books spine, but I was careful not to damage the books integrity, removing them might do harm though (this applies to 7-10 books). Some examples of this are.
The books
After gifting some books here and there, this is what remains of my old library. The books can be split into the following categories:- Novels
- Graphic Novels
- History (mostly European history)
- Art books (mostly 16-17 century European art)
- Film Production "Art of ___" books
- Art theory books (Perspective, Light rendering, Colour theory, Anatomy, Storyboarding)
- Lots of books on Leonardo Davinci and his work
- Programming books
I have attached a pdf file to this post, in it you will find a limited book list on there.
I was originally planning to digitize a few of these books for my private use, and at the same time do a full count and indexing but I gave up on that. No time.
A good amount of the books are hard cover
An example of the graphic novels
The anatomy books
The programming books (the great PHP 8 return never came to be)
Construction drawing and linear perspective
I am not expecting there to be much interest. Just in case I turn out to be wrong, there is a lottery in place, in which the first person to pick the right number (1 to 99) wins.
The lottery file is uploaded to a simply file sharing site that shows its upload time stamp. Once there is a winner, I will provide a link to the file just so that everyone can see a winner was fairly picked.
The lottery will only be used if there is significant interest.
