This is Phase Five of my project to empty my book storage unit. I will give these books 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. I prefer payment via PayPal.
Note that all books are in English unless the title is in another language.
Some books have appeared on earlier lists. This is either because they were not taken up or, unfortunately, because some people requested them and then opted out―not at all friendly!
Almost all books are in good to as-new condition and are available on a first-come-first-served basis. For fairness, I may substantially limit the number of items any one individual may receive so I recommend you choose thoughtfully. Email me at mdesaxe at gmail dot com if any interest you. Please do not use any other method to contact me―I will ignore PMs, etcetera. To save time, please let me have your postal code so I can determine shipping costs. Payment via PayPal, check, MO. Thank you.
