Book Sale!

I am clearing out bookshelves and finding some duplicates of great books as well as materials that we are done with (curriculum for sale will be in a future post). Please e-mail me with your list of books you'd like at jstanish at heart of iowa dot net (no spaces, add punctuation).  I accept Paypal payments for books.

I will ship via Media Mail. I will give you an estimate for shipping cost and will refund the difference if I am over.  Orders over $30 include FREE shipping. Let me know if you would like to include insurance in your total. If you have not paid within 3 days of my confirmation of total, I will sell it to the next person who has expressed interest. 

UPDATE: I will cross out books as they sell.
