Family has been going through some rough time lately (who hasn't) financially and otherwise. Emotional issue, visa issues, electric cutoff ,etc.

We are going through our books and trying to sell what we can however we can to try to work through some of our financial problems. This is not something that we want to do, but ....

We have books that we have collected through graduate school and before - an some other items. Many sre textbooks or others that we use as sources for stuff we use in our Government classes didn't know if anybody might be interested in some of them.

If so, you could IM me.

If you feel this is inappropriate for this forum, please let me know and I will remove this post. DU has been very beneficial to me both in getting material to use in my classes and for emotional support. I do not want to do anything to disrespect or cause issues here.

Thanks . . . if nothing else, I could use your thoughts.

Peace
