(Original English title: YOUR KITCHN GARDEN, 1975)

by George Seddon and Helena Radecka

translated into Danish by Lise Tillge and Grete Juel Jørgensen

First published in English by Mitchell Beazley Publishers Ltd, 1975

This Danish translation published by Lademann, Copenhagen, 1977

Large and heavy hardback with illustrated cover, 22.5 x 29 cm, 240 pages (weighing about 1.3 kg before packing)

With numerous colour and black & white diagrams and illustrations throughout

The outside of the hardback cover is manufactured with a plastic laminated covering which has wrinkled with age = essentially cosmetic. Apart from this, the basic cover shows nothing worse than moderate handling wear.

The binding of the book shows very slight slackening with use, but it remains perfectly sound with no loose pages.

The inside of the book is unmarked and the contents remain in very good, clean condition throughout.

A small explanation:

In 2005, a very kind e-Bay member (gbc62007) posted a mixed lot of some 135 hardbacks on e-Bay: "Danish books going free to a good home".

Since then I have been gradually offering the books for sale on e-Bay, for Danish readers/learners who might be interested to bid for them, knowing that all the proceeds from the sale will be going to The Jamie Fund, to help improve facilities for young people.

You can read more about the background to The Jamie Fund on the Buy-it-Now listing for my fund-raising book Hey, Mr Big!, which you will find amongst my other items for sale here on e-Bay.

More than three quarters of the original collection of Danish books has now been sold, earning a most welcome boost for The Jamie Fund.

 

Buyers outside Europe should be aware that delivery by surface mail will usually take up to 8 weeks, and sometimes more.  Please e-mail for details on airmail if more rapid delivery is required.

Any questions about the item, postage, insurance, or other delivery options please e-mail before bidding. I try to make my descriptions as helpful and accurate as possible. Any queries after delivery, e-mail me and I will do my best to sort it out. I am happy to say 'read my feedback.'

 

... and finally, perhaps you might take a moment to look at my book Hey, Mr Big! Most of the time you should be able to find a copy of the book advertised amongst my other items for sale on e-Bay. If the latest listing has finished though, you are most welcome to send me a message via e-Bay so that I can list a new copy for "Buy it Now".

All proceeds from the sale of Hey, Mr Big! are going to fund raising for the benefit of young people. You will find more details on the item description for the book.

Even if you can't manage to buy a copy for yourself, perhaps you know a friend who might be interested ....?
