Over the past fifty-plus years I’ve accumulated a huge hoard of interesting
books, papers, and periodicals, on topics ranging from dinosaurs and
paleontology to astronomy and space, to mathematics and the hard sciences, to comic
books, strips and fanzines, to science fiction and philately, among others(!).
These items have clogged my garage and office for years, and as I enter
retirement, it is time for some major housecleaning. Ninety percent or more of my
library—literally hundreds of big boxes of stuff—will be going on the block
over the next few years.
Every week I will devote a few hours to picking things out of my library
that I find I can live without, and listing them for sale on eBay. Anything that’
s in junky condition or deteriorated in storage I will simply discard; only
neat stuff in nice condition will appear for sale. Most lots will start at a
mere 99 cents plus a $3.15 Media Mail shipping charge–more for collectibles
or items/lots too heavy or bulky to ship for $3.15, or stuff to be sent to
foreign destinations.
To make it easy to find my stuff, I’ll make sure the letters “DGLib” (for
Dinogeorge’s Library) will appear in the heading of every lot. That way you
can simply set an eBay search to look for “DGLib” to find everything unsold I
have to offer. I’m well known for the depth of my library, so you may find
stuff here that you’ve never been able to find anywhere else. Be sure to look
in every week.
The first 23 lots, now up, include a complete run of the Japanese
periodicals Dino Frontline and Dino Press in pristine condition (but not starting at 99
cents!).
