I am selling some of my beloved books. I have collected these titles over the years in the hope that they would make me a better instructor, artist and human being. They have been my treasures, my guides and my friends.
I have had many of them in my personal library for
years. Due to space and various other issues (beyond my control), I have
decided that they need to find new homes. I hope that you will treasure
them and find the knowledge that I did in their pages.
I am extremely picky about the conditions of my books so consider them new (unless otherwise noted.) They are in excellent condition, free from markings, etc. HC is a hardcover book while PB is paperback. I can send extra photos (on request) for books listed with flaws. All books are exactly as described.
Shipping is extra. If you buy more than one book, I will combine shipping charges.
