Where are they going?

To interrupt JHW and answer the query raised by the last post about my books. Well, it's mostly about where my books have gone. A substantial part of my library was left in the US - particularly the  large academic collection extended while teaching there.  Returning to the UK, another very substantial part of my library went to a seminary in India.  I was left with a strange mixture of old theological classics, biographies and those collections of sermons which did not have an immediate appeal.

So I have collections still of  Beecher, Boreham, Brookes, Fosdick, Gossip, Inge, Morrison, Parker (actually an almost complete set of his NT sermon commentary), Shepherd, Stewart, Thielicke, Watson. This isn't a complete list but it gives a good idea of the kind of stuff!

I still have some Spurgeon volumes that I want to go to a good  home!

If this stirs up any interest - please let me know!

I'm collecting books for a theological library at HSBC, Michael. If you still have books which would be good for reference, I could take them and make them available. Lucy

HBC, not HSBC!

Let's see if anything is suitable. I should be thrilled if something works out

A book or 2 by D Watson

Someone mentioned books by D Watson, thinking they were the Watson books in my collection. In fact there are three books by John Watson (1850-1907) who was also a popular author Ian Maclaren. Probably not what you had in mind!
