You will not receive anything in the post.
 
This listing is for a digital download only. You will receive a link to download a Jpeg or PDF. All images are clear and lettering is easily visible. Once you have downloaded your image you can then save it to a suitable file on your computer ready for printing. Please contact me if you have any difficulties. 
 
The size of the print is A4 (A4 size is 8 1/4" x 11 3/4") and so can be printed on any main UK standard paper. If you want a quality print aim for a heavier weight of paper. I like to use 180gms but anything less than this will be fine. 
 
The resolution is good and you can increase the size of the images if you needed.
In total there are 49 books . All books are slightly aged. 
There are 20 titles of books so you will find some have been repeated in different sizes.
 
Book sizes do vary slightly but heights are variations on: 23cm, 19cm, 15cm  when made up. All 12th scale.
 
There are very clear and informative book making instructions (in English) with a photgraph clearly explaining each stage in this listing. The instructions show the making of blue and white French books from another listing but the process remains identical. I can not include more than one file in the download but the instructions can be found in images on this listing. If you would like a pdf then please email me.

I sponsor a young person who is living in Bangladesh. 50% of the proceeds from the sale will go directly to them. For more information please continue reading: 
50% of sales for specific items support a young person in Bangladesh. The average monthly wage in Bangladesh is around £150 for a "lower class" family and around £250 for a "middle class" family. On this sort of income most things that we take for granted they do not have and will never have unless their curmstances change. 
I have chosen to support one person in particular. Mozammel. His story is written below if you wish to read more about him. 
Mozammel Haque is 23 years of age. He was a very young child when he was taken to a school. He saw his parents once a year. The school was a free school but unlike any type of school that we have here in the west. Growing up he did not have his parents with him and so he lived with famillies who would offer to feed him and give him a bed and in return he would teach their children what he had learnt that day in school. He had very few toys and certainly no meaningful adults in his life to turn to when he was sad or having a bad day. However Mozammel was fortunate. Despite these difficulties he was bright and good at learning. He did well at school and when he was older he managed to get funding to go to college to study. He would have loved to have continued his education to degree level but the funding was unavailable and so he returned to his family in the hope they could suport him.  As you can imagine his mother and father could not afford to support him, finding work was tricky and when he returned home after his years of schooling he found hostility and rejection. They simply didnt want him. In his attempt to gain affection from them and conform to their traditions and beliefs  he agreed to have an arranged marriage (something that he argues is part of his culture "but what could I do" he said "it was expected of me. This is the culture of my country and my family. It is not so easy to follow a different path").  After the wedding, despite doing what they requested,  his parents continued to reject him and so he had no choice but to leave home and was destitute. His wife (19 years of age) returned to live with her parents. 
It is my hope that I can support Mozammel and help him in his life. We have already made some great progress. He now has a small apartment which is clean, safe and dry and has water and electricity. The walls are plastered (as oppossed to bare brick or corrugated metal). We are slowly providing the means to furnish it with the basics including a bed, fridge (a huge luxury) and essentials and set up a small online business. Mozammel is computer literate and speaks English.
Mozammel is a genuinly lovely, outgoing guy who just wants a good life and escape the poverty that is around him. If I can help him it might not change the world but the world will change for him. 
With the sales of some of my items 50% will go directly to him.  If you wish to support him further I have a special listing on my website for donations. Any amount will make enormous difference.  Thank you 
Ali
