I have a lot of old children's textbook that are illustrated, in color from the 1950s or so. They are storybooks with darling illustrations. I can photograph them if needed.

I know some have mentioned an interest in collecting these. I just got a carload more and am still going through them, so I don't know exactly how many I have. I can list titles individually or just sell by the book. They list for about $5+ a piece online.

All money goes to our local library to keep doors open and help buy supplies for the summer reading program. :)

Thanks!

added some pictures of the books:

If you see "The City Under the Back Steps" by Evelyn Lampman, set that one aside to sell on eBay. Check out what it lists for on Amazon, and what someone is trying to get for it on eBay. Yikes!

I'll do that and keep my fingers crossed! ;)

A project my group of ladies worked on last weekend reminded me of this thread.

We made these out of dollar store books.

You could do it with your books, they have plans for lots of different things you have to adjust for your book size. Then make a bunch with the books you have and sell them for a small fortune each at a local craft sale. I just love the one I made.

Those are awesome

Interesting idea.
My mom made Christmas trees out of some of her old books.

Some of these books have beautiful illustrations in them and I just couldn't possibly fold them like that. maybe the old textbooks...

We used to always use old Reader's Digest for this!

I am liquidating approximately 1/3 of my huge Winnie The Pooh & Tigger collection. I've listed many items on eBay - my seller name is Sherlock_Tigger_Holmes - but I have not listed everything yet. I haven't listed any of my SERICELS as I would prefer to handle those sales directly. If you're interested in the SERICELS or would like to make an offer on a large number of the ebay items, please AQ mail me.

You have very nice things listed.

Thank you very much. It's slow going (getting everything listed). I have at least 3 more plates plus 2 sericels plus another collector item (stamps/coin).
LOL - I'm hoping more items don't show up in other boxes.

I have a few large boxes of Old Time Radio programs on cassette. Most have never been played. Looking to sell for not much more than the media ship rate. If there is a genre you are interested in, or a specific show, or would like them all - please aqmail me.

A small sampling:
The Black museum
The Shadow (LOTS)
Comedies
Westerns
LOTS more.....

Thanks much!

Why don't you try listing them on eBay in groupings. Unusual things like this is what sells best on eBay.

I have a bunch of books fellow letter boxers may be interested in:

🌲 Road Fever by Tim Cahill

🌲 Hiking for the Couch Potato by Shelley Gillespie

🌲 We're in the Mountains Not Over the Hill by Susan Alcorn

🌲 Possum Living by Dolly Freed

🌲 Becoming Odyssa by Jennifer Pharr Davis

🌲 Hikers Stories from the AT

🌲 White Blaze Fever by William Schuette

🌲 The Laughalachian Trail by Tom Waite

🌲 Weird Hikes - A collection of bizarre, funny and absolutely true hiking stories.

🌲 My Hearts Wishes by Jill Altman

Audiobook:

🌲 A Walk for Sunshine by Jeff Alt

We could trade if you'd like: a patch, a path tag, any lion with a lamb stamp, or just plain old minimal postage. 😉👟🎒🕶📚📚📚📚

Weird hikes sounds interesting. I could carve a stamp for you as a trade (but it won't be for a couple weeks.)

Weird hikes and stories from the AT both sound good. I would take them and the audiobook. I could trade a carve of your choosing and/or postage.

Hey, Susan Alcorn is a friend of mine! I recommend her book, 'We're In The Mountains Not Over the Hill'. She got a lot of input from folks aging gracefully, but still hiking. I was too young to help at the time, LOL.

(still hiking, not sure about the aging gracefully part)

Hi Photopam, sounds great, no rush. If you'd like to PM me your address I'll send it out.

Hi LROSEM,

Also sounds great except Weird Hikes which has been spoken for. A stamp would be fantastic! If you'd like to PM your address to me I can send them out.

Hi YMJD,

Please tell her I enjoyed her book very much, and thanks!!

I also, am not aging as gracefully as I promised myself I would...lol. Oh well, I still have my dogs, sense of humor, and hope!

I would like couch potatoe and over the hill (see a theme here?😊)
But all I have to offer is postage☹️
Let me know if that is of interest- perhaps a great carver will come along with a better offer!

Hi Corgilover,

I thought I responded earlier so if this is a duplicate response I apologize.

Your offer is completely acceptable, I'm not looking for a better offer! Lol

If you PM me your address I will pack them up.

From a fellow Doggie lover,
Woof,
Donna

I will tell her!

YMJD
(Ditto for me, except I have a cat, lol)

I love Tim Cahill. I'll either carve you a custom stamp of your choosing or send you postage for your copy of Road Fever.

Steven/DZ

Hi Steven,

I would love for you to choose any image of a lion and lamb...together or separate - completely up to you that you would enjoy carving. I have a collection, and I love them all...the 'store boughts' (I'm not a stamp snob ~ lol) and especially the carved ones. Thanks!

If you PM your address I will pack it up and send it asap!

I love road trip stories,
Donna

Road Fever is one of my favorite books! Hilarious!! If you are a Cahill fan, you will definitely enjoy it
