I WOULD like to contact readers who are collectors of, or have unwanted books by Capt W E Johns, the author of Biggles, Worrals, Gimlet and Steeley, etc.

As a keen collector of Johns' titles and other boys' adventure stories at the time of World War One and immediately after, I will be pleased to hear from readers who may wish to exchange books etc.

JOHN BURROWS, 6 Marney Way, Frinton-on-Sea, Essex CO13 9NZ.

FOOTNOTE: If you're batty about Biggles or have a passion for porcelain, why not find out how you could become an on-line 'expert' for Auction Hunter - a great new web site launching soon. For more details contact Jane Law at the Lancashire Evening Telegraph on 01254 678678.
