I would appreciate it if you would attach the list of books left for purchasePrices now reduced by 25% on all remaining book lots
1. I will take the pile that has the "Carving the Acanthus Leaf" book in it.Prices now Reduced 25%!
Having come to the conclusion that my primary passion is Live Steam modeling and not building of static boat models, I have decided to clear my library shelves of reference books I no longer use. Many very good and difficult to find book offerings here...I've created book groupings to create a balance between common subject and practical approach of my desire to sell fewer lots for packing and shipping. All prices include shipping via Media Mail in continental USA...International buyers welcomed with cost of shipping added to price.
Please note I am willing to trade any of these books for better live steam model engines, steam plants, and the like...let me know what you have and your interest.
