Hi! I Have recently listed a bunch of older - collectable's on my shelf & in the book bazaar also! I thought they'd go like hot cakes too, so far no one as even asked about one.  I thought I'd start listing the books I got from my dad's estate, so far it looks like noone is interested. I figured I'd give it a few weeks then I'm taking them to the Book shop for store credit or whatever. But I thought I'd share the wealth here first.  I listed some First editions  from the 1960's and early 80's.  May be someone would want them some day.

bumping as I've added some titles to the list
