That's a nice collection and I have a few myself.  I am interested in '101 Sewing Secrets'.  You can either PM me or let me know here what you want for it.

Thanks

Sorry @UttaRetch  tried unsuccessfully to send you a PM. I was hoping to sell the books as a job lot as I don’t think I could cope with sending multiple packages and trips to the PO.  I hope you all understand.

My fault @Mocarroll.  I didn't read the thread properly and was treating it as opportunity to fill in the gaps of my own collection.  Ironically, I live in SE London and could have collected the set.  I hope you get a buyer for the whole lot.

These are great books. I have a few of them. The set would suit someone who wants to explore the complete range of sewing from garment making, soft furnishings and creative techniques like quilting. Hope someone snaps them up @Mocarroll

I picked a couple in this series from a charity shop and came back from my Sister's in Canada with two more.  I am only interested in garment making and there is a lot in that set for which I would no use.

I’m the same @UttaRetch .  I’ve got a few which I use all the time, but like you I only make clothes but I’m sure someone more accomplished than me could make use of them.
@Iminei, as suggested here’s another picture.

I appreciate this is a rather old thread. Would I be corrected in assuming these have gone?

Just calling @Mocarroll for you...  :)
I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.
