Huge quantity of pamphlets etc available - free!

[Peter Mugridge]

Is there anyone on here who collects old timetables, promotional pamphlets ( mostly rail and hotel related ones ) and similar items?

I have a very large quantity available free if anyone wants them - the person who used to take them off me ( for onward sale at collectors' fairs etc ) has been uncontactable for a while and I want the stuff out of my way...

Some will no doubt be junk to you as they are all to his specification, but if you have the time and inclination to search through them and sort the wheat from the chaff, you are very welcome to them!

I'm very interested, although postage costs might be an issue?

 

[PaulJ]

What sort of age is the material? Is it region specific?

Just sent you a PM Peter.

I'm also interested in the pamphlets - can you give any more details about them?

I will be interested if you have any for Wales & borders trains or first great western/Thames Trains

I would be interested! Especially if there is any covering the Crewe to Shrewsbury line as well as any covering Crewe and Shrewsbury stations

Thank you all; this is a higher level of interest than I had expected so I'll asnswer the various questions raised generically:

1) It's going to be mainly from within the past three years or so.

2) Yes - delivery costs would be an issue, if anyone is able to pick up from Epsom that would be very good.....

3) I could not say exactly what is in them; two of the boxes have been sealed for a couple of years, the rest of the stuff is still open and that open batch consists mainly of railway related flyers from within magazines, timetables that have gone out of date ( including some GBTT books ) and have just been parked in the bundle, some Railtex brochures, hotel brochures, a couple of copies of Red Bulletin ( which may interest F1 fans? ), Air Britain books lists, cpies of WPP annual reports - generally that sort of stuff.

4) Sorry, I don't have the time to sort through it all for specific stuff - I would suggest the approach of "grab, cannibalise and pass on the rest by re-offering it" might be ideal - I'm not going to object if anyone sorts it all out during the "cannibalise" phase and then bungs the sorted bits on e-Bay for their own benefit; I just want the stuff out of my way!

5) For those of you who have sent PMs, thank you - I will respond individually later today.
