BOOKS! Astronomy, science, evolution, ID, dinosaurs and others

I am clearing some space on my bookcase and have reluctantly decided to sell many of my books to try to free up some room (perhaps for more books). Delivery is $10 per order either local or interstate regardless of the number of books you select. If you want a more detailed description of the contents of any particular book, enter the title and author into Amazon and they should come up. All books are in excellent condition, I look after my books. Any damage is noted for individual books. I have grouped them under several subject headings, so you might want to search all the way through. Also let me know if there is anything on my other for sale lists and I will bundle them together and give you a price reduction.
