THE 11th Edition Councils, Committees & Boards Directory, including Government Agencies & Authorities
A very useful and authoritative work, despite being dated, it's ideal for researching all the Advisory & Executive Bodies and Tribunals, (known as Non-Departmental Public Bodies, or NDPBs), Authorities, Boards, Commissions, Ombudsmen and Regulators, etc. that are UK based and is refreshingly fee of adverts.
It's very well indexed and whilst this edition is well over 20 years old now, a new one will cost you £142.50!
It's very heavy so expensive to post as it is over the Small Parcel 2kg maximum, so if this information directory interests you enough to bid, please note that I have listed many similar ones for advertising, artist's agents, companies and products and so on and to save postage it would be best to let me combine postage by NOT immediately paying for items that have been won.
I am down sizing so have to start breaking down my library of reference books such as this, so if this sort of thing interests you, please bookmark me so that you do not miss the listings!

This large hard cover directory book is in very good condition and has spent all it's life in my local library and then my own reference library shelving, seemingly unread by all, including me!
Condition: An ex-reference library copy with minor scuffs and shelf wear and with no damage inside, (no finger marks, pencil marks, bent page corners, or writing etc.), the pages are clean and the binding is intact with no missing or loose pages.
This directory covers lots of ground and I have put images of some of the content including the index pages; I found it really useful when I could not remember an exact name, as well as obviously round the other way, to find those bodies covering a particular sector.
Please note that I always combine postage if more than one book is won and I will be listing other unusual directories like this on business, products and the performing arts, etc.
This has to go as a Medium Parcel so there is scope to save a lot on postage if several books are purchased so that I can issue a combined invoice for all of them - the maximum limit for this now is 30 days though and this can only be done if you DON'T pay immediately for items won, just ignore ebay's hectoring you to pay!
Winner's notice; please wait for me to raise your ebay invoice before paying as the prices below are estimates and may be higher if prices change since the listing was prepared or the final bid value (FBV) goes above the insured value shown and will also be higher if your confirmed address is outside of UK zone 1 post codes, (i.e Highlands & Islands and Northern Ireland, etc.). If outside the UK, once again please wait for me to pack and weigh the item so as to get an accurate shipping cost to your destination country for your ebay invoice, before paying.
Failure to observe this will cause delays because I may have to request additional funds to cover any extra shipping costs as I only charge what it costs me and add nothing for materials and time, etc. unless specifically noted below.
SHIPPING ESTIMATES: (Collection in person for cash is OK)
UK Home Delivery: This is £10.00 by Royal Mail 2nd class Tracked Small Parcel, insured to £150.00 FBV
The cost to The Republic of Ireland, France, Germany and most of the EU is about the same at £22.00 for Royal Mail Tracked & Sgned International Medium Parcel Post, insured to £50.00, (please supply a post code and ask for a shipping estimate before bidding if you are outside the UK), and even more to farther flung countries.
I will only send this insured, to the final bid value (FBV), and by means requiring a signature on delivery - see more on this below; (if the FBV rises to over the insured value an additional charge for the extra insurance at cost will be added to the ebay invoice)
No packing charges are added; you just pay what I pay to send it!
The small print, but please read it!
NB: This item may be picked up in person for cash, otherwise it will be despatched securely, via a tracked and insured service only, so it will need to be signed for at the delivery address; I will not send it to a PO box, or care of a business address without written acceptance of your liability for loss, theft or damage; the delivery address must also tally exactly with the registered address within both eBay and PayPal.
Carriage charges are estimates and, where indicated, are for UK (zone 1) post codes only. If you are in other zones or are an overseas bidder, you can get an estimate of shipping costs by checking online. (Or message me with your country and postal code and ask me for an estimate of shipping cost before bidding)
Payment may be by Pay Pal/cheque/postal order/bank transfer or with cash if collecting in person, but please note that I do wait 12 working days before posting items against cheques and 8 against bank transfers on the advice of my bank; PayPal payments ensure prompt postage.
Please confirm your full address when completing the transaction via the eBay and PayPal message system to avoid delays on despatch and supply a telephone number; I now fully check identities and addresses before sending items because of fraud attempts.
