List to be updated (as I add more titles/or hopefully, titles will be removed when people take the titles). If you’re interested, please check back often. If you’re interested in any of these books, please email me (pagan_25 AT yahoo DOT co DOT uk) or message/call me on my mobile.

Since my priority is to get rid of these books as soon as possible, I’m afraid this will only be available for people living in Singapore. Sorry.

Please note that all books listed here have been stored for a long time in a humid environment. So the pages are yellow with age, dusty and there might be the occasional notes and underline on the text itself]
