Descent 182 onwards donations needed.

We are trying to update the ULSA library - an excellent resource housed in the Edward Boyle Library at the University of Leeds. If you have any spare copies of Descent from issue 182 to today please could you consider donating them to ensure this important collection of caving literature retains its relevance. Caver post to Leeds, the Dales or Colne would be great.

Nothing from 182 onwards at the moment I'm afraid.
But we get frequent donations so might get some in soon though, I'll let you know if we do!

We do have spares of:
Descent 33, 34, 35, 36 and 37
If any of those are any good?

Have 182 - 234 (232, 233 missing) in good condition. Earlier ones too but many missing. Earliest is I have is 41 in black/white. Descent 55 is b/w but 58 is in colour, so obviously changed with 56 or 57.

Not specifically Descent but the British Caving Library has a selection of duplicates available.
We are always happy to donate these to other caving libraries (and individuals too!)
So if there is anything else you are interested in please get in touch!
Photos shows the current spares - can send more details of anything you are interested in.

Hi Trogger
Yes please - we have all the earlier ones already nicely bound in the library.
