FS: My Last Set of Bass Books

BluesWalker · #1 03-16-2010, 01:46 PM

I think this will be my last listing to sell Bass Books and related books. I am moving pretty soon. There is not room for these books (and other stuff I have been selling). I want to sell these so they get used by someone rather then putting them in the recycle bin. I believe the book prices are very reasonable.

Shipment is USPS Media Mail w/Delivery Confirmation, CONUS only. The shipping cost is about $4 per book with reduced shipping cost for multiple items. Price include shipping package, postage and Delivery Confirmation. I will give you the cost once you know what book(s) you want to purchase

Paypal payment is preferred but I am open to other options.

The books are:
