Everything is in great condition, clean, and has never been around smoke.

I will pay for DELIVERY CONFIRMATION for every purchase.
I’m charging $3.00 shipping for the first book, plus 50 cents for each additional book.

I accept Paypal, check, or money order. If you pay with Paypal, I will need to charge you 8% extra to cover the charge that Paypal now charges everyone for all transactions. Sorry about that. So if your purchase, plus shipping, comes to $4.00, I will charge you 32 cents more to cover Paypal charges.

Please contact me by e-mailing me - doclehr@sbcglobal.com. If you reply directly to my ad on Vegsource, I may never see your response.
