Hi all,

Members of the Mineralogical Society of America have already heard that 
the entire run of American Mineralogist is now on line for members. 
This is fantastic!

Now I need to figure out what to do with my bookcase full of old Am 
Mins.  I have volumes from the late 1950s through 1980s. Given the 
on-line availability to members, does anyone think these have a value? 
I'm hoping that there are still collectors or scientists who value the 
paper copies.  There are a few I will be keeping myself for sentimental 
reasons.

Moving costs about $1/pound, depending how you do it, and books are 
heavy.  So I'd like to divest myself of these.  Given that I am 
currently poor, I'd like to get some minimal amount of money for them, 
but if necessary I would be happy to donate them to an organization for 
the cost of postage.

If anyone is interested, please contact me off-list.  I will give 
preference to someone who wants to buy large blocks of issues, but I 
will keep a list of anyone who asks for individual issues they need.


Best regards,
Don
