 If you are interested in starting your own book business, I have 19 cartons of a religion collection (almost 400 books) that are uncatalogued from a collection Cathy bought -- price $650 for the lot. I also want to sell all the fiction/literature that is catalogued and in 24 cartons in my workshop.  These books are listed on my website but it is just those in the cartons (about 425 titles) that I wish to dispose of at 80 percent off - less than $1300, and there are books in this lot ranging in value up to $395.  Call me if interested, please, and of course, you may buy any single book at any time.
