I have a huge stock of surplus books. These are offered at big discounts. 

Shipping is additional and varies with the size and weight of book. Shipping starts at $5.00 in the US and $10.00 outside the US and increases with the size and weight of book. Packages to countries outside the US need to be priced at the post office.

Books are packed with great care, most are preserved in a poly sleeve with a board insert. Some titles are listed more than once because I have duplicate copies. Prices are based on age, condition and rarity. Many are very scarce.

Payment may be made by money order, bank check, personal check on a US bank or by PayPal "Friends & Family" option. Using this option there is no fee to either you or to me. I cannot take a PayPal payment unless it is through "Friends & Family".

Tip: Copy and paste book title and description/price in your email when you contact me so I know exactly which book you are interested in.
