For anyone within travelling distance of Farnborough, Hampshire the RAeS National Aerospace Library are holding a book sale this Thursday 28th. This has not been well publicised, not even on their own websites, but here is the text of the e-mail they sent to me.
The book sale - to which entry is free - will be held throughout the day from 10.30am - 4.30pm .
Available for purchase on the day will be many 100s of new / secondhand donated books and heaps of aviation magazines - a wide range of aviation history books, autobiographies, biographies, histories of individual aircraft / aircraft companies / aero engines, old journals, books on the history of RAF, space exploration etc. - a sheer abundance of aviation titles.
Most of the books will be sold between £1.00 and £5.00; the money raised from the sale of these donated books will be used towards the conservation of historic aviation material in the Library’s archives.
This year we are funding the archival conservation of a large collection of original Second World War aircraft identification posters.
The Aviators in the opposite corner of The Hub building serves a wide selection of hot and cold meals / refreshments.
