I'm the one selling the books on Ebay. I just wanted everyone to know that
at least 4 of the books purchased on Ebay will be finding a home at a
research library.
Before the books were listed on Ebay, I had them appraised. The minimum bid
I placed on each book is below market value. There are many books which have
been sold at minimum bid.
If you were to win an auction, I will mail the book to the library of your
choice and include a personal note from you (with the value of the book) so
that they may acknowledge your donation.
