Lorem Ipsum

Books! Free to a good home. Let me know if you want any of these.

Also some CDs, DVDs, and VHS tapes. (All at the end of this post.)

This list contains 100+ more books than the previous list I posted (a couple months ago), so even if you’ve already looked at the other one, it may be worth looking at this one too.

Priority given to locals and to others who I’ll see in person soon (at Worldcon, for example), and to people in the US (for ease of mailing).

Haven’t managed to take photos of these, sorry.

About 250 books here. Alphabetized by author’s or editor’s last name (or by relevant magazine title). “MMPB” means “mass market paperback.” Most of the books on the list are in fair to good condition, but some have soot-damaged covers. If you want more info about any of them, just ask.

I’ll edit this post to remove items as they’re claimed.

Links to ISFDB aren’t necessarily to the right edition; cover art for these books may be very different from what ISFDB shows.

Note: Some of the book titles listed here are NSFW. I’ve rot-13ed those titles. Some of the content of some of the books is also NSFW, but I haven’t marked those books.
