Green and also find P G Wodehouse books ... A member of the Society has kindly
forwarded us information on a website found via the Daily
Telegraph. The website sells second-hand books for
£3.75, including a donation to The Woodland Trust. It is
also 'Green' in that books are effectively being
recycled. There are a number of PGW books available -
simply type in 'Wodehouse' in their search facility.
Whilst the Society cannot recommend individual websites
or dealers selling PGW-related material, we place the
information and link here in case it may be of interest
