Book Board Chat

June- I am amazed that your sales are still related to aircraft books. How many years has it been?

At what point is someone "certifiable"? I've mentioned that wray is closing his shop and some portion of his cases and books are slowly being moved to storage with better books coming here.
Out of the blue he got a call from a retiring professor who is also moving and needs books removed from his house.... free books. He taught medieval history and art history. So we went to look at the books. This professor has already packed up 174 boxes of books to move and these are books he needs gone.
There are somewhere between 1,200-1,500 books, mostly hard covers and heavily art related. Some are paperback but most are hardcover. They are in fine condition as he mentioned that he never let anyone touch his books if they had lotion or cream on their hands etc. We have to take them all.
Even though we know that selling books is more difficult these days we can't pass up this offer. He offered them to the librarian where he teaches but they are moving to another building soon and will have less space and she needs to get rid of 7,000 books!
We have to move the books next week and that will probably mean renting storage space and a van and paying someone to help with the move.

Diane - interesting to hear that you are writing and "publishing".
