So I’m cleaning out my closets, and I happen across a few magic books. I haven’t used them in quite a few years, and while I usually donate old books to my local library, these are special-interest stuff. And, as ever when pondering life’s little questions, my fellow Dopers come to mind. Yeah, I bet those weirdos will take these off my hands.
So here’s the deal. I want these books to go to a good home. They’re free, but I will ask you to reimburse me for postage if you want one. You tell me which ones you want, I’ll mail 'em out, and then you send me a check later after you get the book. (The postage charges won’t be high enough to worry about who pays when, so I’ll just send 'em.)
Here’s what I have:
