books for cheap.

[subjective]

i sorted my books tonight to see which ones i absolutely must ship to california & which i can let go. i tried to be ruthless.

if you're interested in any of these, i'll send them to you for the cost of shipping (you boston locals are in luck). i was just going to donate them anyway. (hey amy, can you tell me the protocol for donating to the prison book project? do i have to drop them somewhere or will they come pick them up?) leave a comment if you want any of them, please.
