The Great $5 Book Sale




SALE UPDATE: I HAVE MARKED "SOLD" NEXT TO ANY BOOK THAT HAS BEEN SOLD

Der Alte Fritz needs to cull some books (62 in all) from his personal library to save space and is offering nearly everything for a rock bottom price of $5.00 per book. There are a couple of items that are so good that I am pricing them at $10.00 per book.

The total lot of 62 books prices out around $310.00 plus applicable postage so if anyone was interested in buying everything at once, then I'd offer the lot at $200.00 plus applicable shipping.

Contact me by e-mail at:  altefritz1740@yahoo.com

First come, first serve on all titles, so act fast if you see something that you like. I have placed an asterix next to the book titles that I think are very well written-presented

  1. Every gamer needs to cull the collection now and again and if you can make a bit of cash in the process its a win win.

  2. Hi Lee: it's as much about saving space/creating new space on the book shelves. I consider the books to be a sunk cost so anything that I get for them is a bonus. 😀
