30 pounds of math books, mostly calculus

45 pounds of electronics and data books, z-80, Motorola 68xxx, a
couple ca. 2000 HP/Agilent catalogs

8 pounds PLC text, motor control voc text, 1987 NEC

You pay for USPS media mail actual cost and the books are free, as
long as we don't get into cherry picking or extensive Q&A about
details. Looks like worst case, Maine to California, for 45# is about
$20.

My email address is good.

Take the pile of math books and find out. g

There are 8 books, but no Kline. Regardless, I think they'd look
better at your place than mine.

I think he thought I got 'em all, but I only requested the third line
item, not the entire lot. 'Course, if you have a basic TRIG book in
there that he doesn't want...I've forgotten the 2 hours of trig
instrauction (1/2 dozen pages, IIRC) I received in Coleman College's
Computer Electronics Technology (comp repair) course back in '88.

I most certainly don't need calculus books. Alas, my math fu is weak.

Bless you, and yeah, they proly would look good over here, but as you can
well imagine, I think I'm exceeding the structural limits of my hovel as it
is,
AND le wife would kill me -- she now monitors what comes in le hovel.
And I don't even know what I would do with the Kline Vol 1 -- it's more
like salmon spawning, I'm so ****ed about it having grown legs. Amazing how
difficult that book is to find.

You have that many tables to level?

(P.S.......I bought a Kindle for my sister to Guinea pig for me. I
loaded 977 books on it for her. I'm impressed so far, it's WAY cool!
Now, I'll get one. What will happen to dead-tree books?

Huh? Oh, book under the leg to level the table. Got it.
YOU HEATHEN! BOOKS DON'T GO ON THE FLOOR! And stop eating the covers.
Some people's kids, I swear...

Don't have one, but I think these look a lot nicer than Kindle:

http://www.pocketbookreader.com/

Kindle don't/won't read epub format nor fb2, djvu, html... which
eliminates a whole bunch of free stuff floating around the web. Don't
support any memory cards either.

Quite a few Tablet computers coming out now. A lot more $$$
though...
