Books for Sale

Clearing out the book collection as the shelves are overflowing.  This list is only the beginning. For more information, please see Breaking Bookshelves on Facebook.

Books that will fit in the Priority Mail flat rate envelope will be shipped by Priority Mail, unless we arrange otherwise.  Books that do not fit in the flat rate envelope will be shipped in a purchased, padded mailer at Media Rate.  Individuals living in the Phoenix area may arrange to pick up any titles that they wish to purchase.

When you see a title listed twice, YES, I have two copies.  That has happened more than it should have, but at least not as often as with sewing patterns! 

Please note that after 29 June 2019, titles with a line through are sold pending payment.  Once sold, they'll be removed from the list.  If payment is not received within 7 days, the book will be made available for the next interested party.
