Looking to sell this Local (STX) Book Collection together as one set. All books are used in varying conditions from mint to good. Nothing too ratty, or my wife would have thrown 'em out a long time ago. Hard backs and paperbacks (I've indicated on the list). This collection came from 12 years of searching around for anything local I could find. There are 58 books here in the collection and I am going to accept bids for 1 week! Starting price is $2/book for a total of $116 for the collection. I do not want to split up the collection so please don't ask. I will update here when I receive an offer and will update if the offer has been beat. Please pm me with your offer. First come, first served. I will keep in touch with the 2nd and 3rd place bidder, in case the 1st doesn't come through. Now, looking for a bid of $116 to get this started.

thanks everyone! Sale is over....
I hope I didn't offend anyone selling the collection this way. I only offered it up here where there is a small community of folks who I thought would appreciate the books. The knowledge and stories in these books is priceless! They went to a good owner!

Very nice collection -- very inexpensive for the new owner to acquire such a fine resource.
