Book Sale

[noumpere]

We are moving and SWMBO says I can't take all my umpiring library.  So, it's for sale.  Make an offer. (And, in addition to what is below, I have sports-related books on other sports -- ask if you are interested).

 

Rules Books, Case Books, Mechanics Manuals going back 20+ years – OBR, NCAA, FED.  Includes some years’ tests, FED Interps, and review guides.  I don’t want to go through it in detail to see what specifically I have (partly because it’s in separate piles at the moment, and some is in a cabinet I can’t get into right now), but it’s mostly complete.

 

Umpire Training Materials I put together when I was training youth umpires.  Would be good for someone else who is going to be in that position.

 

Two Umpiring Training Videos -- On is unlabeled , one has "Rules Made Easy" and "Umpirign Basics" -- I think these can onlyt be shown on a DVD player, and not on the computer (Or at least it needs some software that I don't seem to have)

Are you wanting to sell all together, or can I piece it out?

Piece it out.

I'll be interested in some of this. I'll post my list this evening - need to check my current library for books that I think I own already. Others are free to poach until then, though.

If you have anything for volleyball, let me know by PM (or here) -- I'll probably take those, too.

I'll have to grab some of these i think.

Please let me know ASAP.  We are making a trip to the library this weekend to donate other books, and SWMBO will want to throw these in as well.

More sold.  See first post.

 

I'm not surprised by what has sold, but I am a little surprised that nothing from the fiction or non-fiction has sold.  In the latter, I get it if you are not a fan of the team involved, but I expected some to be fans of some of those teams.
