WTS: some used books on US military history-related topics and various "outdoor adventure" topics. ALL PRICES INCLUDE SHIPPING TO CONUS ZIP CODES. I try to ship the next mail day after your payment arrives.

I DON'T do PayPal, or take credit cards or online payment plans like applepay. I DO take cash, personal checks made out to me, and all money orders.

HOW TO ORDER: to reserve a book or books, put an "I'll take book(s) #s_____" as a "reply" to the ad thread. Then I'll acknowledge your order on the thread, mark the books (SPF--sold pending funds) on the ad, and PM you my "legal" (first) name and address for payment.

Please use PMs to ask questions, and make offers or comments. But a PM alone won't reserve a book (see above).

TAKE $1 OFF THE PRICE OF ANY BOOK OR BOOKS YOU ORDER AFTER THE FIRST ONE! (I get a little break on the postage for multiple book orders, so I kick a little back to you.).
