Foreign Language Books - Free
During the month of April 2025 the following books are available to family, friends and acquaintances at no cost (except for postage). Send me an email to let me know which book(s) you want and I will set them aside for you. I will update the website status to "Selected" for your selection. In the email specify ISBN or Title with the number and how you plan to get the book (in person or by mail). Obviously my original plan to include the ISBN for every book did not happen, but I will add the ISBN as time allows.
The books are from my personal library; you might be able to deduce their condition from the images below. Some books were gifts, some were purchased for study or enjoyment. You can arrange a visit to look them over (with some coffee or tea) if that will help you to decide. After you receive the book(s) I will update the website status to "Taken" for your selection.
