First off is 7 volumes from the 1870s of Popular Science Monthly.

I’m only looking to be reimbursed for shipping.

Second is the complete set of Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia from 1900.

As you can see the covers are in terrible shape but the insides of books are overall fine.

Permission give by Ed Zotti to post this.

Also a question.

Is there a book rate still with the USPS or is media rate the best.

Answered in your original posting.

Yes, there is. It is called Media Mail (USPS). Slightly slower but significantly cheaper than Fed EX, UPS or regular parcel post.
