some of mine are - Rohini took a couple but I still have others. Iâll have to take another picture!
Ok, if you could let me know what you have available thatâd be appreciated. Iâm happy to pay any costs you want for them, just let me know. Thanks.
ok, here we go -
These are the novels. Note that the Dewi Prysor ones are NOT aimed at learners, and as Dewi often writes dialogue very colloquially, they may be a bit of a challenge!
Sorry the pics arenât clearer - if you want more details of what these are (authors/ISBN numbers/better individual pics), just let me know!
PS I donât want any money for any of these.
Hi, thanks for posting the pics. Is it possible I could have either the âGramadeg Cymraeg Cyfoesâ or the âMewn Printâ books please? Or even both if nobody else wants them?
I have a feeling the novels might be a bit difficult for me right now, but you could send me the one that you think is the least difficult, perhaps?
You say you donât want any money for these, but what about postage? Iâm in the UK btw. Iâll PM you my address once we agree which ones I can have. Really appreciate you doing this anyway!
No problem, of course you can have more than one!
To be honest, Iâve only read Dewiâs books - the others were given to me to pass on by a colleague who thought they would be suitable for learners (I very rarely read novels but I thought Iâd better read Dewiâs seeing as heâs my mate!), so I have no idea which would be the least difficult. Do you want me to pick one at random?
Actually, I think the âCawl Lloerigâ book would be ok as apparently itâs a collection of short stories, poems etc by year 9 pupils, so hopefully wonât be really difficult.
ok, Iâll put those three in the post for you when Iâm in town tomorrow
Well, this doesnât fit the thread title very well as its not about books for sale, swop or borrow - its about free books. Yes, free! There are two âshopâ locations in Wales - Carmarthen and Newport - as well as some in England. Hopefully, there will be some Welsh books in the âshopsâ in Wales! All run by a charitable trust with a good mission You can donate/volunteer as well as enjoy the books!

Iâve just come across this, so apologies if its old news to some!
There are quite a lot of Welsh books in the Carmarthen one. Downstairs. Of all sorts and flavours, but generally not new ones.
I hope you find one!
Unfortunately I didnât find any second hand, and decided to get a digital edition thatâs way cheaper but as far as I know canât be passed around unfortunately (well I havenât read it yet, but I will!)
Helo @Nicky! I met @tim-loudon on Saturday who can speak an impressive amount of Welsh after one month and has been using a book youâve written Where can I get details of your book, please?
Helo! Would any one like to swop books? These are the books I have available. Iâd like to swop for similar titles in the Cyfres Amdani series, such as Y Llythr, Câmon Ref, Trwyâr Ffenestri, Cyffesion Saesnes yng Ghymru, Cawl, Llybrau Cul, or similar.
Hi @Cetra, youâve got a few titles there that are on my wish list. Trouble is, I donât have any of the books you want! So far my reading material has mostly been from the library. Luckily I had a new stack just before Lockdown. I do have one to offload though, Nerth Dy Draed, which is from the Ar Ben Fford series, level Sylvaen. Itâs a collection of short stories. If thatâs any good to you, then Iâd love to swap it for Cofio Anghofio. And if you donât get any takers for Bethan Gwanas and Colin Jones perhaps we can come to some other arrangement.
There are just two books left now: eFfrindiau and Croesiâr Bont.
I have just found this forgotten thread again!
Since ordering books from the UK has just become more expensive, and I guess itâs going to take a while more before I can come to Wales myself and do a little shoppingâŚdoes anyone have anything to sell/swap?
I also thought it might be good to keep a few books going around this side of the Channel, where thereâs fewer available. What do you think?
If anyone in continental Europeâs interested, you will have priority.
These are now in Italy and soon ready to be sent out!
The Royal Mail in the UK have worked hard at upgrading their services since the beginning of the pandemic. It is now so much easier to send anything by mail, without having to go to the Post Office. If you have a printer at home, then you can pay for and print your own postage labels. Itâs fairly easy to weigh small and medium sized items on kitchen or bathroom scales at home, to estimate the weight - this doesnât have to be exact Royal Mail give weight ranges.
