Booklist

This is a list of books for sale. Too busy to photograph every one, but I will try to describe condition as best as I can. Condition is judged on the pages and information, not overall physical condition. If you are a collector and appearance is important, REQUEST PHOTOS before buying. No refunds, for many of these books return shipping will nullify most of any refund...
I think my prices are fair, but will consider reasonable offers. If you are inquiring about availability of books, please include your shipping address, allowing me to respond with a total due for the books you want that are not yet sold. PayPal is fine, or USPS money orders work too.

In no particular order...
