Thread Name: Folk Song Books For Sale
Subject: Folk Song Books For Sale
I have a big collection of folk song books that I'm selling; I've collated the collection pretty thoroughly, here is a spreadsheet detailing everything, and if that doesn't work here is a plain text version. On the spreadsheet I included links to almost every book's listing on Amazon, using the lowest given price. The grand total is over $1200.

These books almost entirely are from the American traditional song repertoire, and include the complete 4 volumes of Randolph's Ozark Folksongs, all 7 volumes of Brown's North Carolina Folklore, and all 3 volumes of Songs of the Newfoundland Outports. These 3 items alone are worth about $600. Note that these prices don't include the original shipping costs, which were generally $3 per item, which amounted to $240 for all 80 items.

As stated I'm still exploring options for selling these items, and mean to check with large sellers or universities for quotes, or perhaps try eBay if no offers are forthcoming; in the meantime feel free to contact me with any questions via email at klrietmann @t frontier d0t c0m. I may resort to selling individual items in the end, but the shipping costs and hassles are pretty bothersome when dealing with one book at a time, I'd prefer to sell large parcels or all of it at once, if possible.
