Large Library of Books
Hello
My grandfather James Burnett was in the Merchant Navy and had a lifelong love of seafaring. During his life he collected a fantastic library of hardback books connected to the sea, especially connected to memoirs and histories of the Merchant Navy.
I am forced to find a new home for these books and would be interested in hearing from anyone who would like to help. I have tried local antiquarian booksellers but to no avail.
kindest regards
David Roylance
