We're decluttering and debulking for a possible move to a new house. I have several sf/fantasy/horror series, sets by authors, etc that I want to put in the hands of people who really want them rather than making random donations and having them end up thrown out, or in a basement or closet. (Actually I am making donations of many of our books to our local library and a shelter, but the books below are sort of the best of the best due to condition, completeness of a series, or just sentimental value and I want to take extra care in their fate, as silly as that may seem.)

So, below are 28 packages of books I'm hoping to mail out. If you see a package in the list below that you'd like, let me know by PM and I'll mail it to you. (First come, first served.) The only restrictions are

- I will mail only in the US, by Media Mail

- I will mail each "package" together; for example, if I'm offering a trilogy and you only want the first book, I'm still going to send the entire trilogy. I don't want to get into mailing out individual books, but I'm perfectly happy to send sets.

The only thing I ask is that when you receive your package, you consider sending a reimbursement of the mailing costs (via Paypal, cash or check) that would cover the shipping and envelope. If you are happy enough with the condition of the books that you want to pay more, I won't complain but that's totally up to you, and I'm not keeping a list of people who don't :) Seriously, my main goal is to get these books to people who want them, with minimal cost to myself, not to make a bunch of money.

All books are regular paperbacks unless otherwise noted. Almost all of the books are still in excellent condition, you're not going to get something that looks like it's been fed to the dog and regurgitated.

Thanks!

Ken
