Listed this week a superb Robert Burns Collection
Robert Burns (25 January 1759 – 21 July 1796) (also known as Rabbie Burns, Scotland’s favourite son, the Ploughman Poet, Robden of Solway Firth, the Bard of Ayrshire and in Scotland as The Bard). was a Scottish poet and a lyricist. He is widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland, and is celebrated worldwide. He is the best known of the poets who have written in the Scots language, although much of his writing is also in English and a “light” Scots dialect, accessible to an audience beyond Scotland. He also wrote in standard English, and in these his political or civil commentary is often at its most blunt.

Why not Browse my Poetry Catalogue?
Like the customer in Canada I have very recently received the Agatha Christie 40 Volume Thriller Collection from HC Books online.com
My set was also very carefully packed , and reached me completely undamaged ( many of the books or CDs I have purchased from f.ex. amazon are too often very hastly packed – and more or less damaged when I receive them! ) … The books were described as in ‘very good condition’ , and that was almost true ; I would rather have described them as ‘ in VERY good to MINT condition’ , so I can safely say that I am very pleased with my purchase! ..
Charles is obviously a very serious and reliable dealer who loves books and care very much about his customers. I can say that for certain because a minor problem with the norwegian carrier CAUSED BY MYSELF (!) was rather quickly solved with his help and outstanding service-minded attitude. – As we say in norwegian ‘ Tusen takk skal du ha’ , Charles! I will certainly enjoy the books…
