Checked with Briv and he said this would be acceptable on the forum.
I have the following books I'd rather sell to one of you locals than allow some Oaklander/East Bay-er get their grubby mitts on them first.
I know some of you will be salivating over these. Some of them have been around the world and back and look it, but all are in readable, usable condition. Pictures of them are available, too, if that would help. PM me if interested.
Also, I have some clippings and may even have project files from the 70s/80s. (Where's Legal when you need them? Is there a statute of limitations on this stuff? Been hanging on the fringe of the SEC too long--breeds paranoia.)
