Fall Computer Book Clearance – Get ‘em before they’re recycled.
"Because there's nothing more valuable than a used computer book."
I took the measuring tape for a spin and it turns out that I have 27 linear feet of computer books weighing down various bookcases around the house. Every year, I try to eliminate at least a foot or two from my collection -- chiefly to make space for the new arrivals.
In years past, I've not-so-secretly stashed these discards in random cases throughout the College. This season, I'm offering the following titles to anyone that wants them. I will deliver within town, and, if you ask nicely, may even ship them to your not-so-far-away address. Otherwise, they'll go straight into the bin the next time I'm down at Raven.
