Vintage (And Just Plain Old) SF Books For Sale
Hello all!

Sorry to be a lurker and then barge in for selfish reasons, but being unemployed stinks. Not being able to pay rent? Stinks more. So...

Long story short, I'm a Bay Area local with some relatively rare (and some downright common) vintage SF for sale at what I believe to be very reasonable prices. There are some non-SF titles, too, but the list is sorted by type and easy to browse. Details behind the cut tag.

Some Lovely Books, On Sale For Surprisingly Reasonable Prices

Note - there are three tabs to the document. Yes, I took the lazy way out and directly exported an Excel sheet to html. It looks okay on Firefox. Let me know if it's hellish on your browser.

First tab - Sci Fi tomes o'interest. Ranging from the somewhat hard-to-find to really quite common, but in good condition for their age. Lots of UK first (paperback) editions.

Second tab - Non-SF books that might be of interest. Fiction and non-fiction, some of it downright odd.

Third tab - the bargain basement stuff. Mostly SF, all $1 and $2/book for whatever reason. Read over the descriptions as some of them aren't in good shape.

First person to call dibs and pay gets the items. If two people call dibs simultaneously, I'll let you know and you two can haggle it out (ie, yes, I'm willing to go to private bids, but I doubt that situation will arise).

I take PayPal and cash. As I've been forced into a merchant account, I prefer cash, but if that ain't possible, it ain't. What's a lousy 2% fee? ;)

Shipping and such: Prices do NOT include shipping. Any books that must be shipped will be sent USPS first class/airmail, with receipt and insurance.

Massive preference given to Bay Area folks willing to pick up, of course, as that saves us all the faff of shipping. Plus, you can look at the book, before paying up. I will be in the south bay on Saturday afternoon/evening, at a social event (those of you who know about it, know what I'm talking about) and will be glad to bring items down to handoff, there.

I will only truck down to the BASFA meeting on a Monday if I've got $30 of potential sales on my hands, as BART & CalTrain costs me $20, r/t. Diminishing returns, and all that so, er, see above re: being in the south bay on the 10th. Elsewise, other arrangements can be discussed.

If you have any questions about any of the books, just ask. I'm willing to take photos if the descriptions don't do enough for you.

PS - OOPS! To contact me, drop a line to britgeekgrrl(at)livejournal(dot)com and I'll get back to you.
