Dave, You are quite correct. I'm new to this auction thing and I am getting some very valuable advice. One piece of advice caught me by surprise and it also showed me, again, the value and the thrust of MUDCAT.

The advice was to price the books as LOW as possible to make them affordable to us collectors. This went counter to my expierence in selling other items than books.

I know I could convert most of these books to some serious money for myself, and I might do with with a few high end collectors items. But, as many of these books were GIVEN to me in wills, and by other generous singers, I do feel an obligation to "pass them on." And by donating the dollars to mudcat, it helps to defray expenses of this wonderful website. CHEERS, Bob(deckman)Nelson
