New postal address from the 13th September.

I used to keep my BXing supplies in my car, but were transferred to my house when I moved. Any posted Sweepstake books, will have a handwritten BCID

Am contactable for Meetups.

Have gone back to posting books. It's cheaper and easier than online retailers.

Registered some books at Palladini hostel, Via Carlo Cattaneo, 23, 00185 Roma RM, Italy. On the coffee table, in the Reception area.
