Thanks again to all who helped me reduce the size of my library by taking
books and journals off my hands, which I'll no longer need in retirement.
But the job is still not finished.
Lots 1 through 5, previously posted here, are all taken and
shipped out. I was surprised that I was not "stuck" with some of
them. But that may change with this offering, which will likely be
the last I post here. These newly created lots are for more
esoteric tastes. Note the dates; most of these are decades old.
I don't want the nuisance of dealing in small shipments,
so I'm offering these in package lots. They will go to the
first person who e-mails me privately, willing to pay the
amount indicated. All prices include shipping and handling.
>>>>>>>>> Private replies only. <<<<<<<<<
Requests will not be considered unless a complete postal
address is included, including street address (in case I ship
UPS).
