I'm not the only ex-museum professional in this household. My wife was a curator at the museum where I used to work. We've been sifting through some books that she's done with now - and our house is busting at the seams. These might be of interest to someone out there - pottery, archaeology, one about horn, one about glass. Museum reference materials are pricey and often go out of print immediately. Our challenge is to find the audience for these books, rather than just recycling them at the book bin at the transfer station. I've looked up prices for each of this and listed these lower than what I found. Prices include shipping in US, book rate through USPS. If you are interested in any of them, email me at Peterfollansbee7@pfollansbee - thanks, and sorry for the intrusion/non-woodsy, non-bird stuff.
