Finished packing for the Allentown Paper Show this coming weekend, and the New York Shadow Show the week after… and found myself wondering, “Now what?” Well, I’ve still got 20 or 30 cartons of books waiting to be put up on the ABE, ABAA, and Biblio selling sites, and I remembered how much fun those last two lists of cheap books were, so I thought I’d go through the boxes until I had one more short catalog of good, interesting, inexpensive, and not-particularly-rare books to share with you. It turned out to be easier than I’d anticipated. The unrare are everywhere among us! So let’s try it one more time. The catalog came together so quickly that I’ve got time to send it out this week. But don’t dilly-dally when ordering. I head for Allentown on Thursday.
As usual, we will pay postage on all items shipped within the US. To order a book, please send an email to us at tenpound@tenpound.com listing item number, author and title. Best not to telephone, as I’m frequently out of the office and rely on time-stamped emails to keep everything fist come, first served. Enjoy!
