Donated by Rob Argy and Grex (ajax):
Grex has a few books left over from the last JCC sale that we might
as well put up for auction. I believe these are all unused books (we
received them from an editor who got them as review copies), and I
can provide added information about any of them if you're interested.
How about a minimum bid of $2.50 per book, and if they need to be
mailed, I'll donate the shipping expense.

There's a $2.50 minimum bid mentioned in #0. With less than that, the
cost of shipping probably exceeds the cost of the books. But if I can
find a transporter (and it sounds like several thousand Grexers are
visiting Frieda this summer), I suppose a buck a book is okay.
