Hi Doug,
I'll bid $1 each on A & C.
Thanks!
James

I'll bid $2 each on A,B & C

[dougscats]

It would seem so.
At least that's the way it's going.
It's hard to give them away these days.

Yet there's something about a book, isn't there?

What wonderful advances we make;
even so, there are losses, too.

Thanks for the bids, boys.
I'm happy they'll be going to someone who wants them.

Never thought of it that way before, but you're a 100% correct, sadly.

Before I consider a bid, do you happen to ship to Canada?

Wasn't that an exotic East Village bar in the '60's?
I think I went there a couple of times.

Anyway, thanks again for all the bids--
Double-figures on every box!--
It's been fun for me, a real win-win,
delighted that this stuff may be read/live again--

Vive Net54!
