Valley Climbers hardbound I'd dig. Not sure what to offer. $40 plus reasonable shipping?

Basic Rock Craft and the Sonora Pass guide I'd kick down for. $20 for both?


Some classics in there for sure.

Nice! That's what my book collection looked like when I wanted to own every book I could find on climbing.
I sold them off a few years ago. What happens?

Thanks everyone for the interest. I'm headed to the desert today to grab some stashed gear, and then will be in the ditch a week from Saturday for about 11 days. I'll reply to everyone Monday/Tuesday next week.

That Needles guide has some value to it. Sold my copy on Ebay a few years ago. Ended up getting about $140 for it.

Paul, do you need a PM sent, or is it first in time, first in right posting? The OP isn't exactly clear on how you want to be communicated with. No worries, either way.

Why are so many of them printed sideways or upside down?

It must make them less valuable.....

$100 for the lot. You pay shipping

;-)

Good luck on your sale. I have too many books just sitting unread....

Great collection!

Actually, I am bumping to ask what happened to Paul Granger?? Your collection
is an Amazing Climbing book Library , If it is not to rude to ask Why are you parting with it ??


To you Buzzards? reach out to the man with offers of real value,


if You or I had collected that vast a library it would take a LifeQuake, for me, to make me take only ducats for such prized possessions.


This is not a Joke post ~ a fellow traveler of the dime edges from way back
seems to be hurting
in NEED!

Is anybody listening ?

Listen Up
That struck me as a private collection that must be well loved, A proud history
and should be saved as a whole for him.

Anyway Thanx for the somber way that some discretion is taken ...
Carry on.
