Free Books (Sydney pick up only)

I have a bunch of books that I no longer need, and was hoping somebody might get some use out of them.
The books are free, but you need to pick them up from my place, no postage.

Non-fiction:
2 x introductory chemistry textbooks
1 x introductory calculus textbook
4 x introductory biology textbooks
1 x introductory microbiology textbook
(I can get titles if anyone wants them - they are all a couple of years old, so won't be the current textbook for uni, owing to the sam-nature of constant revision and release, but they do still contain current information and may supplement the current textbook - not that much has changed at the intro level in these subjects!)

Fiction:
Tommo & Hawk - Bryce Courtenay (hardback)
Four Fires - Bryce Courtenay (hardback)
Why Men Don't Listen & Women Can't Read Maps - Allan & Barbara Pease

More to be listed, when I get around to sorting out the spare room!

Hmm, Bryce Courtney and the like.... Michelle may like those, not sure when she's back to work, i think late next week, but i know she devours books when she gets hold of 'em.

Where would the books be picked up from, and what others have you got? :)

Hey Mike,
Books can be picked up from:
- Mt Colah (near Hornsby),
- Bridge St, Sydney (work hours)
- Parramatta (work hours)
- Pie in the Sky, Old Pacific Hwy (Sundays)

Not sure about others - still culling! I do also have a copy of "The Childfree Zone" if you're thinking about not reproducing :)



the kid ??? I don't get it???

pickup points, cool to know. If you can add more titles as you figure 'em out, that'd be teriffic (i'll let you know which, if any she'd interested in once i get her lookin at the list tomorrow)..... Oh and Childfree Zone, i think Michelle's mum, and grandma would all have my arse in a sling if i even went near that book. Something about wanting grandkids, etc....

and agreed, The Kid, what the hell?

Will do, Richo - it's all yours. But I can't vouch for it being a good read. I actually toyed with putting it in the bin, as it's chock-full of stereotypical, illogical, unfounded dreck.
hahaha - can you tell I'm not a sales person???? :lol:

And Billy -> you crack me up. I will return some random head scratching your way when the spirit moves me.
