Store description
Books that Benefit is part of a fund raising programme I set up to raise money for charity. I do this by collecting donated books from around the UK and then selling the books online through AbeBooks. Apart from the AbeBook fees and postage all the money raised from selling these books goes to various charities, national and local. I personally do not take any money from selling the books.
