Books for You
So here's the deal ... I need to thin out my library ... and you need some books ...
They are offered as is ... they are paperback and hard-covered ... oldish and newish ... hard-used, well-used and hardly ever used ... I have really liked some of these books (others not so much), but I know I'll never read them again ... they were useful in their time ... I will certainly be adding more soon, so look again from time to time ...
If you want one or some, please send 1) your land mail address and 2) a listing of the books you desire to me at bt12ATbrtomDOTorg ... first come, first served ... I'll strike-through titles as they're spoken for ...
I'll then be shipping these out as I get the time ... be warned: I move slowly ... and some of the books are located in my classroom (mostly the film books) and may be hard to access right away ... etc.
I'd appreciate some help with postage (media mail rate) ... so when your package arrives, take a look at the postage charge and - if you are able - send a reimbursement check for that amount to: Tom Murphy, 999 McKinley Ave., Mundelein, IL 60060. For now, I will only be shipping to U.S. addresses (until someone can convince me that mailing beyond these borders is not as complicated as it seems right now).
Of course, if you live nearby, come on over and I'll provide some instant bookish gratification ...
