Help To Find A Book Needed - Hmso 1930
13 Answers
Hello
There is a book that our charity has for sale online for £9.99 that I am convinced should be sold at a higher price.
But I can't find anything on Bookfinder, Abebooks etc to back up my claim (so that I can increase the price ☺ )
Can anyone help me find it? I was going to search the British Library but that won't help me find out the value.

• details:- Complete set of instructions on what to do regarding British merchant ships in foreign ports, from "distressed seamen" to "births and deaths"
• HMSO 1930. Very good condition. Hardback.

jno - we manage to sell some to the National Library of Scotland which is great. I think that they are at the stage of having most of the Scottish books ever printed.
You are right - when these books were printed they were boring and only of interest to a few people (people in Consuls and sailors ☺). There can't be many people who want such a book now.
Our main problem is that Oxfam doesn't seem to have worked out a plan to direct people to our online shop. We have 1350 books and music items on-sale for our shop alone - there have to be zillions on their site.
It is the worse site that I have ever seen from a buyers point-of-view, navigation is poor.
Anyway as a volunteer it is not 'my' problem but they could do so much better.
I will leave this link here - pass the word, please!

bednobs - that is usually my argument.
But the site is not advertised properly. And once a person gets into the site it is not simple to navigate and the search facility is poor.
Books like this intrigue and annoy me - I can find no trace of it on Google. It may be worth only £9.99 but it's my failure to find it that annoys me. The person who listed the book said they 'guessed' an asking price.
