Moving to smaller quarters soon, which is forcing regrettable but necessary downsizing. Time at last to seek new homes for a whole slew of older titles collecting dust on my diminishing bookshelves.
These vintage volumes will probably be pretty familiar to us older Monster Kids, who grew up reading and collecting them.
All titles listed below are in quite good condition for their age. Most were bought during or soon after their year of publication, which means they’re decades old; but they’ve all been gently read and well cared for. In general they show only minor degrees of wear for books of this vintage.
(“HC” means hardcover. “SC” means softcover, but large to very large, i.e. basically the same size they’d be if in a hardcover edition, i.e. trade paperback sizes or larger.)

Instead of trying to laboriously price each title individually, I’d rather keep things simple and just ask $10 per title (some might perhaps be worth a bit more, some maybe a bit less, but I figure that if you buy a few, it’ll all probably average out okay).
Shipping is on top of that (USPS Media Mail, unless you want to spring for faster delivery), and will be calculated on a per-order basis (i.e., it’ll depend on how many you buy, and how heavy the package ends up being, and how big of an envelope or box I’ll need to buy, so it’s really up to the post office).
