    Exclamation Medical Books for Sale

    I have been selling off much of my medical library in an effort to downsize and bring in a few bux. Should have shared here earlier but what is done is done.

    The following list is what I have left that I have not yet added. Probably more to come. Thought some might be interested in the older legacy books. All subject to prior sale; I have been listing items on two other forums and also a couple of private lists.

    Prices as listed. Postage via most economical means, Media Rate within the US, added as applicable.

    RR


    I am clearing my bookshelves. I have lived in this house for 5 years and have boxes of books I have never unpacked, including medical books. This despite the fact that I have a 5 shelf bookcase beside me with nothing but medical books. Novels, collectible, religious and other books fill its neighbor and I NEED THE SPACE. Some books are well used, some brand new, used only for review and consideration for inclusion in the last (or next) edition of Survival and Austere Medicine. Media rates have gone up but still remain the lowest postage-wise for anything bigger than a large envelope.

    I am trying to be as accurate as possible as to condition but will rate even something barely flipped through as no better than 95%. Any highlighting or underlining was done by previous – usually clinical – owners.

    Prices listed reflect condition, currency if there are later editions, and overall usefulness. Sorry, but time and (present) inclinations are not conducive to reviews. I suggest using Amazon for descriptions as much as possible.

    This is a starter list. More will follow with time.

    It is a little scary how much overlap we have in our libraries.

    I guess it is the nature of the type of thing we prepare for.

    Good luck with your sale!

    Cheers,
