Paypal is free, but every transaction costs you money (like 3%). Send me your address and roughly how much shipping costs and I will send a check.

AND I will also take Bro Adam's claim on Carroll, thank you very much.

It depends on how many books you have, and on the size of each book. I recently sent about 10-15 books and was able to fit them into one large flat rate box. The postage for those books was $14.50.

Kindly Era, I would like that "English Fundamentals" and "Don Quixote" too.




Pretty please.

Wow. That is excellent. Do you know how recent the self-teaching guides are? Like, were they printed within the last ten years?

The only self-teaching guides remaining are "Basic Physics: A Self-Teaching Guide" and "Chemistry: A Self-Teaching Guide." The most recent copyright listed in each book is 1996, and they each have a previous copyright listed from the 1970s.

Era is win.

[jeffpugh]

How is that Joan of Arc biography (from a Catholic perspective, that is)? I might have that added to the list, plus considering the size of the package for crossing the line.
