Sorry I would not buy them, but just to let you know they probably have some value. See the prices at:

Tony Peterson at this site might well buy them (at a reduced rate to give him a healthy profit - no harm asking how much he would offer) if you didn't want the hassle of selling them yourself. The weight (postage) is a factor in costs of purchase.

Katherine Glynn seems to have one of the largest 2nd hand chess book stocks and would also probably be interested.
Chess Suppliers might collect them and sell them at a bookstall ? ( <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.chesssuppliers.co.uk/">http://www.chesssuppliers.co.uk/</a><!-- m --> ).
You would probably get more by offering them on ebay - as a complete set you would (once a buyer found) get more than per volume I am sure.
You could advertise an ebay auction at <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.ecforum.org.uk/viewforum.php?f=19&sid=f1515c3a4783e5dc16f662f22f721414">http://www.ecforum.org.uk/viewforum.php ... f22f721414</a><!-- m --> which is a widely seen uk site.
Pity you don't have the shelf space - possibly another club might - but they might not have the same money as the above to offer to Pentlands.
I have unbound editions up to late 1960's (not at my current address) and I know how good they are.
