17 boxes of books

Iona Dr., Cocoa FL

Description

Selling house, moving away, must abandon small library of books. Tried giving to county jail but they want only westerns, mysteries, and other mindless goop. Library would use some but remainder would go into dumpster. Philosophy, history, William James, Jacques Barzun, Ortega y Gasset. Couple boxes of political fare I never got to. Some few decent novels: Feuchtwanger, Hermann Brach, others. They could be listed and sold on Abe books, but I don't have the time to mess with it. Michael Rostoftzeff's 'Social and Economic History of the Roman Empire,' two volumes, was selling for thousands of dollars on Abe Books, but a few days ago could be found [one volume] for $60. A first Edition of William Tell, though a bit musty. Would be nice if someone actually would read some of these. Some precocious kid who wants some book reading for intellect's sake. Well anyhow.
