When I was last down in Portland I finally cleaned the last of my stuff out from under my grandparent's stairs. Turns out I don't want most of the books I owned a decade ago. But now they can be yours!

I will ship books anywhere in the US free of charge (and probably to other countries as well, but I reserve the right to check the postage first). Consider making a donation somewhere with the money you've saved. I support progressive causes & animal rescue.

These are things I read at one point (some embarrassments there), books from various college classes, and random things I picked up that professors were getting rid of when moving offices. Let me know if you have any questions about anything.

This is first come, first serve. Feel free to pass this on to other people, I want these out of my living room!

I recommend BookMooch as a service for getting rid of books.

In the interest of getting these out of our house, i think step 2 of the plan is to just cart the boxes over to the library to be used in the next Friends of the Library book sale.

Mmmmmmm, library book saaaaaaaale...................

Fair enough. Although, all my E. Moon books were claimed in under 24 hours.
