After I have retired I am saving a lot of my information in electronic form and cleaning out my boxes.
I have bought, inherited and collected a lot of information through the years, and would like to sell them to someone who could use them or collect them. The ICS books were my father's collection, but I have found them to be some of the best technical publications I have ever used (circa 1950-1951). The rest are either standard books or text books. Since some are in better shape than others, and/or may have notes, etc. thereon, I have to price individually. Also, shipping from Oregon won't be much, but each piece will be based on size and weight. If you are interested, email me on your interest and I will send you a picture of what it is and condition.
