I am continuing to liquidate my personal library of books related to firearms and hunting. I am listing below some of the available items.
While I am listing fixed prices as the rules require, I will respectfully consider ALL offers. I am never offended by an offer--the worst that can happen is that I will decline or perhaps make a counter-offer. My gmail address is my full name, Douglas Dean Johnson, with dots between the names.
Bona fides: I am pretty new here but a longtime active participant on the smith-wessonforum-dot-com, and you can check out my past feedback using the "search this forum" tool in the "Classified > Feedback" subforum (search feedback by user name-- ddeanjohnson). (I co-authored the chapter on Single Shot Pistols in The Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson (Fourth Edition).) My books are also listed on that forum.
Prices include shipping via USPS Media Mail rate, which includes a free tracking number. Please add a $4 shipping surcharge if you order only a single book, but I will pay shipping on all multiple-book orders. However, insurance will be added only if the buyer requests it (I do not recommend it), and pays the insurance fee. No international shipping.
Acceptable payment methods are personal check, USPS money order, or Zelle. Again: Please add a $4 shipping surcharge if you order only a single book, but I will pay shipping on all multiple-book orders.
I will provide photos on request, as time allows and within reason.
