I'm at the end of my OU career, I graduate in a few weeks and I'm trying to downsize my bookshelves. I've gone through a lot of courses and collected a lot of books. I'm sorry to see them go but it's better that someone else gets benefit (and possibly good grades) from them rather than they collect dust in boxes in the loft.
If you are interested in any of them please contact me at the email address below:

Good Evening Pam

Congratulations on your wonderful achievement you must be so proud.  Thank you also for your thoughtfulness in posting all your lovely books etc., for others to benefit.  What a good idea.

Sadly, for me, none of the list applies to the two courses I am doing to complete my degree in the next year or so, but it was worth a look.

I wish you every success in your chosen career and good luck in what path your life now takes you with your degree.  Enjoy your graduation day too.

Best Wishes, Elizabeth.
