Cross stitch books for postage only
Having recently added some books to my collection I'm afraid some others will have to go! These are looking for a good home, and I'm happy to send them anywhere for the postage. Within the UK the three books would be £3 each to send, the booklet much less. I haven't checked for abroad but if anyone is interested I'll find out.
Book 1: Cross Stitch Calligraphy GONE
Book 2: Exquisite Miniatures GONE
Book 3: Alphabets and Samplers
Booklet: Bead Alphabet (can also be worked in cross stitch)

I would be interested in postage to Colorado.

Re: Cross stitch books for postage only
Ouch
I checked Royal Mail and it's pretty eyewatering for the books I'm afraid, because although their size is "Large letter" their weight is "Small Parcel" which is much more expensive (£13.80)
The only cheaper option is to send it Economy, which takes up to 42 days (I think it goes by boat) and is still £8.85
The booklet (the bead alphabet) isn't too bad, that's £3.95
If you're interested in more than one book, I found I can send two plus the booklet for £12.05 Economy. All three would tip it over in to Standard Parcel which is too expensive to consider.

Re: Cross stitch books for postage only
Yeah, that’s pricey...figured it would be. I was mainly interested in the calligraphy and bead alphabet books.

Re: Cross stitch books for postage only
I'll check if those two together are under 1 kg; in that case they could go together for £8.85 - but I quite understand if that's still too much!

If the Cross Stitch Calligraphy book needs a home... I have shelf space!

If Debby doesn't want it at Royal Mail's extortionate postage, it's yours!

Re: Cross stitch books for postage only
I'm happy for Debby to have first dibs.
Have you checked sending it surface mail? Ah, yes, I see you have; "Economy" is it now, eh?

I will concede to Serinde. It’s not as though I have a planned use for it. Enjoy.

Right-oh, I'll pop the book in the post to Serinde tomorrow. Just the one, or do you want to combine?

Re: Cross stitch books for postage only
Calligraphy book has arrived, and it's very interesting. I'm sure I'll be able to make use of it -- plus all her alphabets have composers' names! What's not to like?

One book and one booklet left, if no-one claims them by the weekend they'll go to the charity shop!
(I'm also putting them on my FB page so when they're gone they're gone)
