Oh, so boring... (Not)- SOLD

SOLD!
The World's Great Events (1948)- 10 volumes  

Books titled The World's Great Events  may sound  boring, but written is this form they surely are not.  These are not history books per se, but  a gathering of  descriptions, some told by scholars, but many  written by people who were really there. Covering the earliest of times, up to the end of WWII,  these writings are easy to read. As the preface reads, "This latest edition goes to press during a period when the future of the world is more doubtful than ever.  Perhaps from these records of yesterday we may glean a better understanding of tomorrow."  Unfortunately little has changed since then. So read these writings and ponder.

The books themselves are in wonderful condition- the bindings look new!  Buy them for only $25.  (They can be found under the card table.)

Of course for the people of the Ivory Coast  that is the least of their worries.)

The Pocket University- **SOLD**

**SOLD** 26 volumes of The Pocket University, 

Written in 1921, these small hardcover books cover most of the famous authors, as well as a lot of authors I have never heard of.  Well, maybe you have heard of  some of them, but I haven't.  I started counting the number of authors in the index, and it was like counting railroad cars. I lost track after 50, and I had only gotten half way through the "B"s.
Of course there are plenty of well known names of prose, biography, and poetry, like Lincoln, Browning, Milton, and Stevenson. I was surprised to see how many women writers were included. This collection was ahead of it's time! In the final book are essays on reading, and a day to day guide on how to get  all the material read in a year.

Enjoy this little "university" for only $60. ( It was $100 earlier)  Look for it in it's own little box under the card table.

Overflowing (still) with cheap VHS tapes (SOLD)

Come on, help us clear the hall. (Buy a bunch and we will give you a really GREAT deal!)
Pretty please?
