Does anyone read paper books anymore?
Fall clean-up time.
I have dozens of books and manuals I collected over the years.
Most of the cars they cover have become way too expensive for me to think I will ever obtain another.
So I guess the collection is for sale.
If there is interest I will begin to catalog them.
Mostly British, some Italian and U.S., one or two are autographed by the author.
A few on early automotive history including good introductory books for kids (Christmas!).
I hate feeBay so may as well offer them here.

Let me know if there is interest.
A few years ago I offered to donate them to our local library, they sneeringly said they would just sell them.
Respond here, PM, or email to sia@NOSPAMpyramid.net (Remove NOSPAM)
