Books For Sale - Wife Says It's Time To Thin The Herd

[Arctic97]

I have 6 lots of books that need to go to make some room. I put them together in lots so that I don't go nuts trying to ship single books. I think I have them priced well below retail (verified on eBay), it is just the shipping that has increased as of this month again. I am not trying to make big money on these, just want to pass them along to likeminded hunters who will enjoy them as much as I have. Some are just readers, and some are collectable. I have been collecting books - mostly on Africana - for over 40 years, so a few of these I have had a long time. I will pay the media rate to ship them here in the lower 48. (I will also insure Lot #1 as it is the higher dollar one). I can accept checks, money orders, Zelle, or my daughter has Venmo that we can use. I do not have PayPal and do NOT plan on using it. I ran out of media download space so if you need better pics of a certain book just PM me. Ok, here we go...



LOT #1 - $250
This is the one lot that is a bit special. It has a set of early Patterson books that I acquired in the small village of Hay-On-Wye, Wales in the mid 1980's. These were and are very collectable. I could probably get a little more for these, but I really want to see these go to someone that will appreciate them.

The Maneater Of Tsavo	Patterson	1907
In The Grip Of The Nyika	Patterson	1910
Marsh Lions	Jackman
David Livingston and the Victorian Encounter with Africa	Jeal

Yes, I think I had that in there...but may have forgotten...

My mistake if so. Lot 5 was going to be my selection but someone claimed it prior to this clarification.

 

[Arctic97]

I’ll take lot two. Already looking forward to reading them.

Hi, I didn't see that you wanted Lot 2. It is yours if you want it. I sent you a PM.

 

[Arctic97]

Well Lot #3 is all that is left pending a couple of payments. If it doesn't go soon I will set it aside and try to put some more lots together another time. I appreciate everyone having an interest in them. They went so fast I could hardly keep up! Thank you all.

 

[Drywaller44]

I’ll take lot 3.

 

[Arctic97]

Well, it looks like the books are all spoken for. Just awaiting a couple of payments. If something changes with those, I will repost those lots. Thanks again to you all!
