Andres Nurmela’s book collection, which includes hundreds of many valuable and beautifully bound items, is set to raise thousands of pounds for the charity Oxfam.
Manager of the Oxfam Books and Music Shop Val Sharpe said this week they owned Andres ‘a huge, huge thank you’
Andres kept the promise he made to Val before he died and left all his books to the place where he spent many enjoyable hours over the last 10 years...
‘There are a number of the books (added to and changed weekly) in the Collectables area in the shop, ongoing, for a long time yet. We are looking forward to doing lots of research, learning a lot and enjoying the whole process. We owe Andres a huge, huge thank you.’
