As painful as it is, I have to start working on making my computer library a little thinner, since I need the room and any money I can get my hands on. I've been collecting books and manuals for computers and computer science just as long as I've been collecting computers, so it wasn't too hard to find at least a couple books out of the hundreds I could part with. Hopefully these can go to someone who will enjoy and use them as much as I have.

I'm mostly looking to sell, but if anyone, for whatever reason, has something on my wishlist they'd be willing to trade for some or all of these books, I'll add a general list of things I'm looking for after the book list. I'm willing to pay shipping on whatever I'm trading for, but the buyer has to pay shipping on the books either way. Although, since books can get pretty heavy, I'm willing to take the price down on the books if you're interested in a large number (most or all) of them. That way shipping won't be too much of a problem if you'd like more than a few books.
