I'm joining to ask help from you guys, my father died recently in his 80's after 70 years as a dedicated STEAM rail enthusiast, and my mother has now got a library of several thousands of good condition quality books, primarily LMS and Narrow Gauge.

They range from an original 1938 LMS Passenger Station Working manual (LMS crest & School of Transport - on cover), then the LMS Engine Sheds series, loads of David & Charles books like "Williams's Midland Railway" (by Clinker), Liverpool & Manchester Railways Project 1821-31 (by Carlson), The North Staffs Railway (by Christiansen & MIller) and many other is that series, Illustrated Review of Midland Locomotives multi-volumes and other books like LNWR Precursor Family by Nock and Steam Locos of the East African Railways by Ramaer.

Is there a place where my mother could sell these books, preferably getting a fair valuation and have them going to other enthusiasts rather than just a book seller who will have his healthy margin out of her and then another healthy margin out of an enthusiast.

Thanks for advice.
