first take on thread trumps p.m. negotiations, but i do welcome reasonable counters.  domestic s/h $15 for the raw books, $20 for the slabs.  i will combine for a cheaper mail-out.  we'll have to figure out border-crossing postage.   returns ok, but let me know w/in 3 days of delivery.  p.p. is fine.

we'll go alphabetically, except for the unicorn to end it.

cindy smith 39, a tuff, tuff book.  3.5, o/w.  some damp warping and wrinkling, but presents nicely.   $125.

georgie 25, not exactly politically correct these days, but carolyn liked it back-when.  very pretty, but no better than 5.5, due to a 1+" tear on her leg, as you see.  o/w pages. $500.

junior miss 35, 4.5, o/w.  $175.  you have to buy it and read it to find out what was rapid about the "romance."  SOLD!

patsy 25, 4.0, o/w.   top staple popped on back, but still holdin' on.   jagged edge tears b.c. side-edge and a little on f.c. that you can see.   a 5.5 sold for $630 last year!   $250 here.  SOLD!

venus 7, lost valley (my only lost valley; will have to find another one for my ped type-set), with c.o.a.   5.5, ow/w.  gpa has a 6.5 at $1,350 in september.  let's say $950 for a pedigree copy.

venus 8, 5.0, c/ow.  one sold last year for @800.  $750.

[Straw-Man]

single-highest graded on the census; my only g.a. book with this distinction, tho' i have some ties.  this gorgeous thing is only graded this low because of a b.c. stain.  front cover is pristine and looks for all the world like a book with a "9" on front.  only one sale on gpa, a 3.5 sold years ago.  naturally no way to price it off comps, so i'm just going to say $2,500 for something of a unicorn.  keeping it will not be a burden to me.
