Decluttering My Bookshelves--Wanna Help?

I've been inspired with results from two changes I've recently made--trimming how much I spend at the grocery store with cutting back on convenience items by making homemade instead AND adding a little extra $$ to our family budget by renewing my eBay account and selling things around our home that we no longer need. Since I'm a clutter-bug (sad but true), I have just a few things around our place that could go...okay, perhaps more than just a few things.

With the extra $$, we're working towards funding the amount needed to pay off the remaining balance on my oldest son's orthodontist bill. The good news is he's finishing with braces much earlier than anticipated, but that means the balance on the account is due months earlier than planned. That's forced me to get creative on how to fund the needed amount now. So I'm decluttering my bookshelves. Before listing again on eBay, I thought I'd post some books here at fair prices and actual shipping cost--cheaper than same used books on Amazon and Ebay! For those that are local, shipping is FREE since I can deliver books the next time I see you :) What do you say--take a look?

All books are in excellent condition unless otherwise noted. Please respond in comments or email lclarktos@gmail.com with books you would like and your email address. Once I receive your mailing address and total book selection, I can calculate media mail shipping cost. Payment is via Paypal or cash in person.  Thanks much for taking a look and please share this post with friends that might be interested, too!
