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

I have a growing list of specific books wanted so check back here periodically
