I recently started a position as Sales Manager of one of the best "Friends" library sales in Northern California. Thought I'd offer some of our sports books for sale here. We price very low and our sales are wildly popular. We get so many donations that we have to clear the shelves after each sale. I'll edit this thread when books are sold or added.
All proceed benefit Friends of the Palo Alto Library.
The following books are for sale plus actual shipping. Condition is generally what you would find at a "good" used book store, if you are really picky about condtition ask before buying and I'll pull the book and let you know more details. All are hardcover unless noted.
