SALE CLOSED

LEFTOVERS HAVE GONE TO THE LIBRARY DONATIONS BOX,
THANKS FOR LOOKING

The first person who lists a $5 bid gets that book for which they designated their bid. If you want to bid on more than one, it's okay. I guess what I am really saying is they are for sale for $5 each, with first-come, first-served.

The full $5 goes to the Mudcat. Sucessful bidder also agrees to send me $5 for shipping including Priority mail, insurance, and delivery confirmation.

Please tell me your bid by number and title. Tks
