I am moving to a smaller house and need to sell my library of caving books. Postage is extra. No reasonable offer refused.
THE PREHISTORIC ARCHAEOLOGY OF THE BRISTOL REGION by E K Tratman OBE, MDS, MD, FSA . Reprinted from Bristol and its Adjoining Counties (Bristol 1955) by J W Arrowsmith, Bristol.

Many of the Mendip caves have archaeological remains from the Stone Age to the Iron and later. SB VG ?3.00
IM REICH DER H?HLEN by Gust?ve Abel, H?hlenforschung und H?hlenforscher ND [1950s by the typeface] 31 pp, 6 illus.

It is said that the Emperor Frederick Barbarossa lies asleep in a cave beneath The Kyffh?user.
