Book Sales coming up in November and January

My obsession with books is still running but not as intensely as at certain times in my life. As I approach being 80 years old in a couple of years I am trying to eliminate stuff from my life so others don't have to deal with it when I am no longer here. My current rule relative to books is that for every book I acquire, I have to get rid of 4. That 2nd number will probably increase as time goes by. I've donated over 50 boxes of books to the Ft. Bragg library  and local thrift stores this year but the stack I have left is still pretty big. I'm keeping what I consider to be the best and most interesting for the sales I have coming up in November and January at the Caspar Community Center, more details about those later on. And of course I'm keeping ones that are worth $30 and up to list on the internet. The most expensive one I've sold there so far was for $400. Looking for those books is akin to panning for gold, looking for treasure, a hard habit to break.
