Hello,
Please review this list of lepidoptera books that I'm selling. This is the
remainder of my personal library, and you'll find some very nice titles here.
Please note that while all books are generally in excellent condition unless
noted, minor dust jacket wear is sometimes present due to all books having been
in actual use. If books come in hardbound/softbound versions, they are
hardbound unless noted. If you want more information on any title, please
e-mail questions to me directly; I don't check this newsgroup very often.
I've written this text in MS Word, and the formatting will probably appear
incorrectly when posted here. I'd suggest enlarging this screen to full screen
size to view columns more easily...
