    WTT, WTB, WTS, Ballantine Books

    Yesterday I bought a large group of Ballantine books to help fill out my collection. In the process I now have a large number of duplicates that I'd prefer trading but will also sell if you're interested. I did not make a list of the duplicates but it's fair to say that if it is NOT on the list below, it's a good possibility I have an extra of it. The books are in what I would say typical shape for these Ballantine paperbacks. They've been read, there are a few creases, corners not crisp etc. Some are in very good shape but the majority are well used but not abused.

    The books listed below are the ones that I still need and I'm looking for the same condition.
    I don't need mint books.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.
