We're still cleaning out bookshelves and boxes. I've divided these by subject into 4 lots. Prices include postage within the United States and Canada. Feel free to pass the word along to anyone hat might be interested. All books are free of writing or highlighting and come from a smoke-free (but not dog-free) home.

This set of 4 books consists of the following:
  • Cherokee Psalms, A Collection of Hymns in the Cherokee Language (all reading levels) - original price $3.00 bought at the Museum of the Cherokee in Cherokee, NC

Lot 3: Dog Books ($7.50)
These were not used to school our children. I bought them to read myself when we were getting ready to add our first Labrador Retriever to our home in 1993.
