Tech Books for Sale

I am trying to clear some space pre-move/pre-baby, as well as making a bit of extra money to put aside for emergencies and so was hoping to sell a few books on Amazon. Unfortunately they require you to have a UK credit card, which I don’t have, and as I’m ebay-aphobic I don’t want to go that route. So, if you’re interested in the private purchase of any of the following tech books, please get in touch: jem@jemjabella.co.uk.

How to Break Web Software by Mike Andrews / James A. Whittaker
ISBN: 0321369440
Condition: New (it was bought as a gift but already own a copy); includes companion CD
Price: £18

Hackish PHP Pranks & Tricks by Michael Flenov
ISBN: 1931769524
Condition: Excellent; includes companion CD
Price: £15

Mac OS X Tiger Pocket Guide by Chuck Toporek
ISBN: 0596009143
Condition: Minor scuffages
Price: 50p

Graphic Design Cookbook by Leonard Koren / R. Wippo Meckler
ISBN: 0811831809
Condition: Excellent
Price: £10

Graphic Design School: The Principles and Practices of Graphic Design by David Dabner

Price: £6

PHP 5 Advanced: Visual Quickpro Guide by Larry Ullman
ISBN: 0321376013
Condition: Very good apart from crease down front cover
Price: £16

Delivery for all is £2.75 as per Amazon, except the Mac pocket guide which is smaller so £2 only. UK shipping only. If you live local(ish) to Telford you’re more than welcome to arrange to pick them up at no extra cost for delivery.

If any of you have any genius ideas as to where else I can flog some of my crap, do let me know.

Warning

This post is over 6 months old. This means that, despite my best intentions, it may no longer be accurate. Age, motherhood, experience, loss... these things have all changed me from when this blog was started back in the heady (ha) days of my youth.

As much as I would like to go back and edit 10 years of archives to provide an insight into the 'me' of now — to update coding snippets and revise website advice — it would probably take years to do so (by which point I'd have to start again!) This would defeat the point of keeping these archives anyway.

Please take these posts for what they are: a brief look into my past, my history, my journey.

    It's too bad you live in the UK. I would totally take the PHP books off your hand. I guess it all works out seeing as to how I need to be saving my money for next semester anyway.

    I know you said you were eBay-phobic, but another eBay-style site is eBid.net, who are much better than eBay (listing fees, cuts they take from your profit, etc.). It may be worth having a look on there?

    Jump on LiveJournal and search for a Telford (or surrounding areas) community. I've managed to flog a million things on the Melbourne LJ community.

    If you want me to list them on Amazon for you, I don't mind doing it using my card. I can drop the cash off to you next time I may the old dear a visit.
