Please have a look at this message from Bryan Rouse, all in a good cause.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As occasionally in the past,
I am auctioning a number of cricket books for a good cause, possibly the Dickie
Bird Foundation.
If you are interested in a
book, please send a bid by email (
rouse100152@yahoo.co.uk). If anyone
outbids you I will inform you and give you a chance to submit a higher bid. The
auction will end on 24 October, following which I will deliver the books and
collect the money.
Thanks in advance.
