We are using hardly any of our 2,000 plus printed British Standards. We
accumulated them because we were a technical college but this has declined
as our nation has continually reduced its engineering activity.
I have not made a list of which standards we have as this would be very time-
consuming, so ideally I would like a single taker. They mostly concern many
types of engineering standards, but other oddities are include. (One of my
colleagues took the ones on tea tasting!).
We would like to see the back of these before the Easter weekend otherwise
they will end up in the recycling bin. The average price of each of these new
is about £40 to £50 (some as much as £180 for a few pieces of paper) but I
cannot find a resale market-place.
Thank you,
