Super-Duper Father’s Day Sale. Finding the Perfect Gift for Dad!!
Maybe one of those things that keeps your can of Bud cool. Or how about some new string for his weed whacker? Or a pair of socks. Fathers love socks!
He probably won’t want an entire collection of 97 books from the Howland Estate on yacht designing, and the history of the New Bedford area, but that’s what we’ve got on offer this week. (In case Dad does happen to be interested, he can have them all for $3250, net.)
This material represents a sweep through two aspects of Louie’s many personal interests – he didn’t quite view them as reference books, but not all of them were for sale, either. Quite a few bear Howland inscriptions or personal notes to Louie from authors, historians, and yachtspeople. Most of them are in tip-top condition. Almost all of them are out-of-print and hard to find, and all are priced below retail.
I suggest email orders – to tenpound@tenpound.com, or through the “Contact” tab on our home page. These electronic messages are time stamped and readily answered. Telephone communication is a little less certain, but may be attempted by dialing 978 283 5299.
As is the case with these low-average-price lists, I’m going to have to charge postage – $7.50 for the first book, $5 for each additional title, or at cost for larger orders.
And, Father’s Day kidding aside, I hope you all have a wonderful one
