<div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Hi</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">I am one of the stewards of the Central Council of Church Bell Ringers Library. This is both archive and active library based at Taylor's bellfoundry in Loughborough. We would be pleased to consider receiving Roger's books. Clearly we have quite a collection already but in order to create a publicly useable library we do need duplicate copies of many works. Could you give me some idea of the size of the collection?</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Many thanks</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Andrew Aspland</div><div><br></div>
