Hi just wondering if anyone is interested in buying a copy of Only Fools and Horses “The Bile of Peckham Vol 2.The book is in very good condition and has a dust jacket 9with a very small tare in itat the top front. it would easily mend. If interested I could email pictures of it. I am trying to reduce my book collection. Hope the Event at Southend on Sea (it’s very near to where I was born) goes well…wish I could attend. We love Fools and Horses.
Hope you don’t mind me suggesting this. Thanks ve
