The vet school library is doing a clear-out of old books. There's a vast range of obscure and ancient veterinary works (including a few texts in modern Greek!); if anyone wants to come up and browse I'm sure it can arranged.

Of possibly more general interest is:
1952 reprint of the 3rd (1944) edition Shorter OED (2 volumes, good condition).

It's free if anyone wants it, otherwise it'll end up skipped at the end of the week. Shout if you do, and I'll see what I can do.

Damn, there's probably loads of wonderful and arcane stuff I'd love... Bother being ill.

Don't suppose you could pick me up cool old arcane Vet texts with cuteness value?

Mememe, OED. Er, except I suppose I shall have to just box it up and put it in an attic pro tem. Still.

Also interested in: skeletons, including how you do the reverse-taxidermy thing of mounting them; any texts in ancient Greek; any texts in Hungarian with cute etchings (to add to my collection...).

I have 2 volumes of shorter OED for you. I'll have to work out how to get them home at some point :)

Any copies of Obscure Soviet Vetinary texts would be kind of funky and would almost certainly get used at some point. Otherwise I'll pass.
