I managed to channel all the latent-@ss-slapping-energy from you kind folks (and inspiration by [livejournal.com profile] vismaya_viewer) and get into gear, heading up into the attic to box books to sell and/or give away. Cleared off one entire (low wide Billy) bookcase, thus halving the books up here. Of course in the process I also amassed a small(ish) stack of books to add to my Wanna Read pile.

Still, most of what I've cleared off the shelves and boxed will go away SOON. I've got a few boxes of kids' book for you, [livejournal.com profile] skarlett if'n you'd still like 'em for work. Those of you w/kids'll likely get some dumped on, um, passed to you if'n you so desire, as well. (Please remind me of current ages of kids.)

Okay, there're some books that I'm hoping folks want 'cause I'd rather give 'em to someone who cares than sell 'em for pennies on the dollar. These're hard to part with but it's time.

Priority goes to those folks to whom they're handy to deliver. I'll drive 'em to you if'n you're on one of my regular routes (PacNW: PDX - 1 hour NE of Seattle, SoCal, mebbe Bay Area).

BOOKS I DON'T NEED TO KEEP IN MY LIBRARY BUT AM HAVING A HARD TIME PARTING WITH SO'M GIVING TO THOSE WHO CARE/EXPRESS INTEREST...AND IF NOBODY WANTS 'EM, THEY'RE GOING TO POWELL'S FOR SALE WITH THE REST:

As luck (planning, too) would have it, I'm driving down yonder in a week and a half so could give 'em to you in person when our paths cross, as methinks they're quite likely to soon. :-)

The Wills: Lincoln at Gettysburg's already taken but the Durkheim's yours! Who and where are you, anyway?

I'll take the remainder, actually, if you'd like. I'm something of a nonfic junkie, with history being a close second to biography as favorites.

You've scored the Karl Marx: Selected Writings (ed. David McLellan) and E.J. Hobsbawm: Industry & Empire (The Pelican Econ History of Britain - v. 3 - From 1750 to the Present Day [1969]).

I'm heading down yonder week after next so'll bring 'em along. Hope to hook up w/you then!
