Hi

I have a large amount of books and software that I'd like to give away - so much that I haven't even made a list yet, but basically all of the decent OS/2 books covering the OS and software development that were written. Software wise, there are several versions of OS/2 and developer tools.

Before I start itemizing everything, is there anyone interested in picking up such a trove from Grenoble in France? [I would expect international shipping to be very expensive].

A+
Paul

Hi Paul

I think it may be hard to find someone nearby, but maybe if you post the books that you have someone will be interest on paying the shipping for one or two.

Regards

Paul,

International shipping isn't that expensive although that does depend on weight and destination. I have shipped things from Perpignan to Australia and found the biggest problem was the customs paperwork but that might not be a problem for you because the books are used.

It might be a good idea for you to have a look on the Chronopost web page - their help section is good. 

Paul FLOYD:
First, for the shipping cost, according to this https://boutique.laposte.fr/colissimo-en-ligne the cost is about 8euros per kilo up to 20 kilos to the USA or about 2euros per kilo up to 30 kilos for Europe (Germany and the UK, at least). I quickly weighed everything on my not too accurate bathroom scales, and the whole lot comes to about 70 kilos.

That would mean 3 or 4 parcels costing something like 560euros for the USA and 140euros for Europe. There are probably cheaper bulk shipping options for the USA.

The books are:
