free books!
I have some academic books (primarily early modern English/European history, with a little literary criticism and theory) that I no longer need and would like to find good homes for. Most of these books have some underlining and marginal notes in pen, but none of them have highlighting. (Highlighting = EVIL.) All books are paperbacks unless otherwise noted.
All I ask is the cost of shipping: $3.00 for the first book, $0.50 for each additional book. Shipping within the U.S. only, sorry (international shipping rates from the U.S. are outrageous and it's just not worth it). Payment by PayPal, although if I know you and you'd rather pay by check, that's fine.
If you want to order books, leave me a comment with your name and address (comments are screened) and I'll get back to you with my PayPal information.
And please feel free to link anyone to this post who might be interested.
