MASSIVE BOOK SALE--REDUX (with new items)

Ann and I are still cleaning out the house and getting rid of more books. Below find some new stuff and a consolidation of the remaining original stuff. The original stuff that’s left has been marked down in most cases.

Terms are as follows: payment by paypal to vanderworld@hotmail.com or check or money order made out to me sent to POB 4248, Tallahassee, FL 32315. Shipping in the US (media mail)/Canada (surface) is free on orders $15 and over. Otherwise, it depends on how much you order, how we’re shipping it, and where we’re shipping it. Just email us about what you want to buy at vanderworld@hotmail.com and we’ll let you know if the books you want are still available and the shipping cost.

All books should be in good-as-new condition (some haven’t been read) unless otherwise noted.

Thanks!
Jeff

I just noticed your comments on Eugene Izzi. He had a tough guy life. I remember reading a big moody article after his death in something like Esquire or Vanity Fair. Here's a little bio of his:

I think that may have been Neddal Ayad who, as a guest blogger, mentioned Eugene. Or it could have been Iain Rowan. I'm going to email both of them to let them know about your comment.
