I am selling used books. The condition for each item will be noted separately below. I have no way to post pictures of the items. Pictures provided are stock images. Proceeds of the sale will go to the Salt Creek Civil War Round Table for battlefield preservation. The price for each item will be noted separately below and includes postage. Payment by check made out to Salt Creek CWRT. If you would note "On-line book sale" on the memo line, it would be of help to the treasurer.
If you have questions or see something you'd like, please send me a PM (click on envelope icon in blue menu bar above).
For my long-term patrons, I will be retiring from my library job at the end of the month, so please do send me a PM to get the new payment address.
