For sale only as a unit. Please do not ask to buy individual books unless you are prepared to offer a VERY generous price!
PRICE: for entire library $899 (less than 1/3 current market value; see below). Buyer pays exact USPS book rate shipping.
(Average price per book: $12.04)
There are some exceptionally hard to find books with no fillers at all. Every volume is worth owning.
83 volumes, 58 hard cover, 25 soft cover.
Condition description is based on my personal take and does not coincide with any book collector's formal definitions. Near new means I would, or did, buy it new or as though new.
Just assume that every book is one condition level lower (buyers and sellers never see condition eye-to-eye) and even then, this is still a VERY good deal!
(Values derived from current mid-price Amazon listings.)
Highest value: $300
Lowest value: $5
Books worth $100 or more: 6
Average value: $42.17
Total value: $3500.00 (Don't ask me how that came out even. I have NO idea!)
If you find the list hard to read (it had tabs when I pasted it), drop me an email and I will send you a text format file readable on any platform.
