The books of his I’m selling are:</p>
<p><span class="caps">THE WARRIOR</span>’S <span class="caps">TALE </span>Cole & Bunch <br />
<span class="caps">YEARS IN THE MAKING L </span>Sprague de Camp <br />

<p>The proceeds from these book are going towards the David Stewart Research Fund, which is sponsoring a particular project related to Oesophogela Cancer, which David died of in october 2006.</p>
<p>I have about another 200 hardback books belonging to David to sell, so I’ll be putting them up in lots on eBay until I have cleared them all.</p>
<p>Please feel free to direct as many people as you can to these listings, and do consider bidding on one of them if you can.</p>
<p>The other books listed are my own, although you shouldn’t allow this to stop you from bidding on one of those also, if you so choose…</p>
<p>Again, the books I’m selling are listed <a href=http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZslovobooks>here</a></p>http://www.slovobooks.com/irishsfnews/news.php?postid=356David Lloyd's Signing Tour of Ireland
