In case you haven’t noticed, I have a weakness for books.  I care about most all of the books I sell but these 3 are special.  The obvious effort and attention to detail that the author and publisher have taken with their publishing is remarkable.

The books are in like new condition. 19 pounds, 4 ounces.  $1,425.
