It's time to start the book cull!
I don't yet know how much book-rate shipping is gonna run--probably gonna depend on how many books anybody gets, and where they go!--but I'm currently in possession of the following and looking to sell/give away. (I'd rather send 'em off to someone who'll use 'em then dump them on the used book store, where they may languish forever.) Prices vary--I don't want to do fifty e-bay auctions, so I'm just listing 'em here, first come first serve--once somebody's made a claim, I'll get you a shipping quote in the next day or two on the books you've chosen. Comment to claim, I'll mark 'em off as fast as I can.
Condition is good unless otherwise stated, and they're all priced to undercut Amazon used book sales by a good bit. Any that don't sell by the end of the month will head off to the bookstore and get sold/donated/whatever.
Yes, upon request I'll draw a little digger doodle in the front of a book, as a few people have said they wanted, or admit that yes, this was the first fantasy art book I ever bought, or whatever. Yes, this reads like an 80's Fantasy Art Wall of Shame in places. I have no excuse for owning that much Luis Royo whatsoever.
