I did some more used bookstore hunting today... I bought the books that
I thought were worthy of interest and where the price was reasonable. I
have some new finds to offer for various BMC. As before, I marked the
books up only enough to cover my time, gasoline, etc, but feel I have
kept them reasonable.
I will continue to look for Haynes for the out of print Haynes... I have
seen them! Keep the faith.
Please e-mail if interested in any of these books.
