Not Available Yet or Too Late!
These books are either still in my library, awaiting my decision to make them available, or actually delivered to a new home (to friends, family or packed up and donated to the Portland Public Library, the VA, Goodwill, the Salvation Army, or some other worthy recipient). I will send a notification to the email list when each new allocation of books is posted online.
If you wish to express an interest in any of the following books marked "My Copy": Send me an email to let me know which book(s)
you want and I will consider setting them aside for you for eventual delivery. I will update the website status to "Promised" 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. 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 choice.
I am right in the midst of reviewing all my books, DVDs and music CDs to give away, so I do not have time to add the ISBN for every title. Maybe one of these days. Another difficult task in front of me is prioritizing which books to keep for now!
