Medical Book Group Buy Offer
Im putting together another medical book group buy based upon the interest generated in the last such offer amongst various and sundry boards. This time the publisher has offered to make available another oft-requested book, Where There Is No Doctor.
These are new, recent printings but not the most current. Variation from latest printings is reported by publisher to be slight. I am able to make this offer only because the publisher is clearing their shelves for new printings. Only the below-listed books are available at these prices. Prices as listed include postage within the lower 48 states. Minimum order quantities apply so I need to determine if there is enough interest. Pre-payment (funds held in trust) applies if we reach the required quantities. I MUST have a working email addy to “register” you for the buy if you are interested. You can send it via PM through the board to maintain confidentiality or email me directly.
