When I moved I had to put large numbers of books in storage and I now need to empty the storage unit. I will give them away for free to anyone willing to pay the cost of shipping - media mail rates in the United States. People outside the US should note that international shipping rates are very expensive and there is no media mail rate.

These are the books in the first two boxes - there are probably another 30 or more boxes to check. All books are in very good to as-new condition, and are available on a first-come-first-served basis. Email me at mdesaxe at gmail dot com if any interest you. Thank you.
