Been a little while for me. Got a decent pile of new arrivals, under copies, and some stuff out of the personal boxes. Mostly GA books but a few pulps and other fun paper stuff. All kinds of genres and stuff. Some cheaper readers and some nicer stuff as well. Pretty affordable to collectors and readers. These will take me several days to post. I will do a handful hopefully each day until I am done.  Have fun!

Rules:

No problem children or HOS members.

Postage starts out at exact USPS Ground Advantage and works up from there depending on how many books you buy and where you are. I don't make money on postage and will quote as affordable prices as possible. 

I prefer to sell only to US addresses but might make an exception if I know you.

Payment by PayPal, Checks or Money orders.
  

Returns: No hassle returns within two weeks from when tracking says it was delivered. Return postage is on you unless I make a gross error and in that case I will "man-up" and pay return postage. I don't expect any returns though as I've only had just a few in 40 years. 

This stuff all comes from a smoke filled, varmit infested, mouldy junk house. (Just kidding!) Here we go...

I think that will do it for today. This gives you a general idea of the kind of stuff coming up. Will have another pile tomorrow. A bit more if I get started early.
