Here I am again, with some fabulous packages of books at give-away prices!
Well, actually, some of these don't fit neatly into subject packages, so
I've listed some individually at the bottom. Note carefully the editions
and publication dates, for some of these are older books, some are
classics which have continuing value, and all are books somebody out there
desperately wants to complete a library. :-) And I desperately want to
clear my library shelves now that I've retired from teaching.
If you read carefully you'll see a few hard-to-find and out-of-print books
on this list. If some books in a package are duplicates of ones you have,
consider giving them to students, colleagues, or adding them to your
classroom library.
The prices are guestimated to cover finding, packing, shipping, postage
and the work of putting together this listing.
The first person who notifies me PRIVATELY by e-mail that they want a
particular lot or package, gets it. I'll post a brief message here when
the sale is over. Remember, do NOT respond to the discussion group, that
annoys people.
This very well may be the last group of books to go out.
