Nick Wall | 5 comments Many libraries will only consider suggestions for book purchases if submitted by a library card holder.

Well, I'm a member of Wirral libraries in the UK. And I'll put in a request for your books if you're willing to submit the details of my non-fiction books to your local library.

It would be great to get lots of authors involved, swapping favours. Let's sell some books !

Rita Chapman | 566 comments Hi Nick. I don't usually do these sort of swaps but I've had a look at your books and you have certainly put a lot of hours and effort into them. I have asked my library in Australia, Noosa Library, to obtain the Europe song book as I think it would be of interest to a lot of readers here.

I do sell some books in the UK. Please have a look at my books and see if you think any would be of interest to readers in Wirral.

Nick Wall | 5 comments Thank you Rita ! Wirral will only accept requests for books published in the past two years, so I've requested Missing in London,

Rita Chapman | 566 comments Many thanks, Nick.

Rita Chapman | 566 comments I'm surprised you haven't had more authors interested in your suggestion, Nick. I would have thought a lot of music lovers would have found your books extremely interesting.
