A chance to pick up sought-after specialist waterways books while helping canal restoration, as the WRG book auction returns after a long absence WRG book auction We have recently been donated a number of good canal books for fund-raising and have decided that the best way to sell them is to auction them through Navvies - with all the proceeds going to help fund WRG. The reserve prices suggested are the minimum that we would accept and are considerably less than you might see from a specialist book dealer. You are invited to make your bids (in multiples of 50p). Simply list down the Lot Number (the number on the left hand side) and the price you are prepared to pay for each book that you are bidding for. The bidder offering the highest price for each lot gets the book at the price bid. In the event of two equal highest bids, the first one received wins. All proceeds go to WRG so you can afford to be generous. All bids should be sent by email to enquiries@wrg.org.uk (please make subject of the email ‘WRG book auction’) no later than 31 January 2022. Successful bidders will be notified shortly afterwards. Postage and packing is extra, at cost. The winning bids (but not the identity of the bidders) and the total raised will be published in a future issue of Navvies.
