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? ---

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

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. 😉 ---

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. TubaDiva
