LIBRARY BOOK SALE
The library book sale has met with such huge success that it has been extended. Hundreds of books have gone to members throughout the UK, as well as to Europe, Pakistan and beyond. Many more titles have been added to the sale in the past few weeks but do not delay; we are not expecting these to hang around for long!
All proceeds from the sale will be used to purchase eBooks to add to the online collection, which is accessible to all CII/PFS members everywhere via Discovery at www.cii.co.uk/knowledge
The updated sale list and details of how to purchase books and postage are available on our website at: bit.ly/2Ip5AWZ
