I've just finished a degree in English at St Andrews, and so I have a tonne of coursebooks that I'm loathe to just throw away. I am selling (very nearly) all the books required for the first two years of English literature, and I have a variety from the last two years of more specific modules. They are all in wonderful condition, though they should be counted as second hand simply by the fact that I have already read them.

I have a habit of scribbling on books, though there are only a few with my scribbled notes, and I've tried to specify this below. However, the notes never impede reading the text, and I'd like to think the notes might sometimes come in handy (like the helpful scribblings of the Half-blood Prince I have just successfully graduated, after all!

The books are individually priced, but generally all under £5, with a reduction for ones with extra scribblings. Please PM me if you're interested in any books and we can sort out a price, and how we can meet before Freshers week (I live in St Andrews, and shall be here next year too!)

I also have a lab coat that is in a pristine condition (just one small stain, it didn't see much action, used mainly in molecular biology labs!), I know these can be expensive from Bess', so I'll sell mine for a reduced cost.
