Books Galore !!!
My personal library of books has literally, taken over the house. It is well past time to relinquish 1,000s of these excellent books to make room to get to the kitchen safely. I have 100s of amazing, well-cared for, and often hard-to-find books on: Astronomy/Cosmology, Cooking, Military History, Tropical Fish Keeping, Classical History and Ancient Mythology ( specifically- Roman & Greek treatises), extensive biographies of Winston Churchill, Charles Dickens and James Cook, and 100s of well-cared for leatherbound books over 100 years old. Also many (many) paperback books from which movies were based.
Kindly contact me should you have an interest. And know of a good divorce lawyer. ( just kiddin'... )

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
