These are all used books, conditions as noted. ALL PRICES INCLUDE SHIPPING TO CONUS ZIP CODES.

To reserve a book or books, put an "I'll take book(s) #___-" as a "reply" ON THIS THREAD. Then I'll acknowledge your order on the thread, mark the book or books sold (SPF) on the ad, and send you a PM with my mailing address and "legal name" for payment.

I accept cash, personal checks made out to me, and money orders made out to me. I DON'T ACCEPT PayPal, credit cards, or online payments like applepay. (Must be some of that 1 to 3% Neanderthal genes that my ancestors are rumored to carry....).

Please ask any questions or make any offers by PM here, but PMs don't work for ordering. I try to check PMs every couple of hours and get back to you quickly.

I also try to ship your books the next mail day after I get your payment. If you'll PM me your mailing address before payment, I can have them ready to go when your payment arrives and usually get them started to you that same day.

TAKE $1 OFF THE PRICE OF ANY BOOK OR BOOKS YOU ORDER AFTER THE FIRST ONE (I get a little break on shipping multiple-book orders and kick a little back to you).

Open to offers on the gun magazines. Keep in mind that they have to go "Flat Rate" instead of "Media Mail" like the books (and "Flat Rate" is going up for anything shipped after the 15th!).
