I might have some Gor. I have some Brak the Barbarian which looks kind of similar as well.

Do you have any J. G. Ballard?  I just read through a collection of his short stories, and I want to get into his longer stuff.

The Drowned / Burning / Crystal World sounds familiar. I should be done with the crime / mystery books over the weekend then on to the sci-fi / fantasy,.

Awesome list. I will have to find some time to go through it properly and work out what coasts would be, I'm really interested in a lot of that stuff. (Even the shitty crime novels - I almost enjoy pulp crime more than the quality stuff).

Remember that I'm giving these away, instead of drooling over them you could have them. (If you don't already)

I'm really interested in any Conan books you might have, other than that I really can't think of anything in particular, too many books, too little time.

That is the problem with fiction, I really hate speed reading through them like I'm able to do with the non-fiction.

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

Are you looking for Howard Conan or any Conan?

I have a bunch of Conan books that are a mix of Howard, L Sprague De Camp and Lin Carter, then some that have no Howard in them at all. The latter I'm willing to get rid of but not the former.

I also have a ton of other stuff by De Camp and Fritz Lieber.

I wonder why I didn't ask.

Any Lovecraft? Do want.

I'm not sure, but I did see a bio of Lovecraft written by L Sprague De Camp (I think) as well as some stuff by Lord Dunasay. I'm going to start listing the rest of my books tomorrow, so you'll know for certain in a few days.

Bumping. So far I'm not sending anybody anything out of the books I've catalogued so far. Giving them away this weekend probably, so get yey picks in now.

If you have any books worth loads of money, could you please sell them and just send me the cash?

Thanks in advance!

I have heard recently that this is quite a good read, if you have it. Going to go through you list and try calculate what shipping would be tomorrow if that's not too late.

I can't seem to work out what shipping costs would be (I'm pretty useless at such things) so I will have to say alas! to the great collection of books you have there. (Though did the list cap at 491? I didn't seem to notice much SF on there).

It looks like a lot of stuff on the list is interesting out of print stuff, so hopefully you do pass them on to a library or something and not just pulp them.

Figure out how much your books will weigh and call the post office and ask them how much it costs to go from where ever to where ever, get on the short bus, go to the post office or where ever people in Bizarro World go for that sort of thing and send the bloke a money order.  Or post a cheque. 

You really ARE a special little snowflake sometimes!

I haven't started listing the other books yet, just the mystery / crime, I've been packing up other stuff instead.

Oh the shipping costs from Australia are easy to work out, it's the pretending I'm in Boston and sending it the other way that confuses me. I like to assume foreign lands have exotic customs and rituals; it makes the world a wider one. (It's borderline/not worth it from this end though, so I assume it's the similar from the US, hence the 'alas!').

If I ever go to Australia, I'm so going to stomp on your feet.  Just because.
