I'm still cleaning up and have come across a few books that may
interest readers. The last time I offered books for a fixed price,
there were several disappointed readers -- especially ones whose email
was slower than others. So, I have been struggling with the fairest
method of offering the books and have come up with the following plan:
They will go to the highest bidder (plus postage). The cutoff date
will be next Monday morning, May 10th. At that time I will notify
successful bidders. I feel this method is as fair as I can possibly
get.

PS: Has anyone noticed the phenomenon that the more things you get
rid of, the more that comes in to replace it? Approximately double!
