Hello List Members,
We are trying to help an old friend who is not Internet savvy to sell his book collection. 
Some of his book titles have been of interest on this Met-list in the past. 
But many of his titles are "unavailable" or are rare and we are having difficulty in
trying to determine an asking price for his books.   We are turning to the expertise
on this Met-list to ask for help in this matter.  But, please reply OFF-LIST.
Any help would be appreciated,
Moni
