We'll be downsizing to a smaller house, and there won't be enough room for many of the books I've collected since I started modeling.

 

I'm offering the following books free of charge - you just pay the postage.  For the time being I'd like to ship a minimum of three books for each request, and will be using PayPal for payment of the postage.  Due to time constraints I need to move these books by end of January.  Any remaining books will be donated to a local charity.

 

Please PM me if you're interested in any of the following books:

    That's a nice way to both get rid of your excess materials and at the same time get the books into the hands of someone who can appreciate them rather than just going into to a landfill.
