Popular Sci Monthly volumes 1872-1879 up for grabs

I’m staffing our library book sale and have come across what might be a treasure for folks here?? Fourteen bound copies, 1872-1879 Popular Science Monthly. The topics range all over and are pretty cool.

I can’t guarantee that the bindings will be secure as some are coming loose but the contents are all there. We charge $1 per hardback and it would be nice to be reimbursed for shipping. I can e-mail back to anyone who provides an e-mail addy in their profile.

Apologies in advance if this is inappropriate, but it’s for a struggling local library :: puppy dog smilie And it’s not really to make much money, but to save these from disposal

It’s not really inappropriate considering the item and the demographics here, IMO. But, you should still ask a mod for permission. Did you email any of them?

I’ve just e-mailed Czarcasm…thanks for the advice.

If you get permission, please Email me. I am interested.
My Email is in my profile.

I’m in, too. Email’s up. (I think.)

Update–There are actually 21 volumes:

1 (1872), 2,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,20,22,23,24,25,26,27,28 (1881)

I’ll e-mail out once I hear it’s OK.

With that kind of age wouldn’t these have some potentially serious ebay value you could convert to hard cash for the library?

I’m definitely in. Email should be in my profile, and if not, let me know.

OK, that should be enough to split them up among. All set, thanks everyone.

I have asked that the thread be closed, since I am a little nervous about what I did here. I have e-mailed the three interested parties with details.

I’m sorry if I have blundered and I will be more careful in the future. The excitement barged me ahead. :wink:

An email beforehand would have been more appropriate, but under the circumstances we totally understand.

(How cool. I’m sorry I missed out. )

I will close this thread.
