I am often asked if I buy books. The short answer is yes.

I must admit that I am way, way, way behind cataloging the ones I have so I am being very selective right now. However, that being said, I must also admit that when payday comes, I buy books and if I have anything left over, I buy food and pay bills.

Seriously, though, I have set up some guidelines (which are guidelines only -- I live by the motto that rules should be broken) and here they are:

Condition must be very good or better.

No paperback romances.

No hardcover romances.

No Stephen King*, Tom Clancy*, John Grisham*, James Michener*, Danielle Steele*, Mary Higgins Clarke* or Sue Grafton*.

No books with mildew, soil, dampstaining, heavy highliting or writing.

Hardcovers must have dust jackets.

*Unless it's a first edition, with dust jacket, of their first books or it is a signed first edition.

Categories preferred:

Texana

Children's Books

True Crime or Criminology

Military

Railroad

Old West, cowboys, indians

Books published prior to 1960
