List:



Firstly, the free stuff, most of which is  in three ring binders. This
includes the Block Line (1975 to 1990), the  Stoker (every issue except the
first), and the Railroad Enthusiast Bulletin  (1970 - 1990). The Block Line
especially has many well written articles,  both events of the day and 
really
excellent history. Please contact me off  list and first come, first served.
I enjoyed this material but it is time  to lighten up.



Now for the strictly commercial part - if this  offends, then please delete
now. A friend passed away several weeks ago and  I offered to help the widow
to dispose of his library. If I had known the  extent of his collection, I
might have thought twice. I have no personal  financial interest in this 
sale
but feel the obligation to see that it is  fairly carried out. There are
about 20 boxes, each a heavy back-breaker. I  have taken possession of 13
boxes and estimate there are 6 of 7 more to  bring home.



The books are pretty evenly split between railroad  and traction
(trolley/subway). The railroad material is heavily weighted to  the 
northeast
including many on the EL and predecessors. I might wind up  splitting the
collection in half (railroad and traction) if that would  facilitate the
sale. The books are mostly in excellent condition with  dust-jackets.



I am looking for expressions of interest in this  collection. Outright
purchase would be choice number one. I would also  consider anyone willing 
to
be an E-Bay assistant and manage the sale on a  volume by volume basis (for 
a
share of the sale price). I am open to ideas  and if you have one please do
let me know. I cannot personally undertake  the job of selling this
collection book by book.



If you are  interested in a detailed list of this collection, please contact
me off  list. 



Thank you,
