Free Books (and a set of TI Acousticores)I got to the sorting books phase of packing this morning and made a pile
of bass books. These are things that accumulated over 33 years of
studying and playing and I'd like to give them to good homes. All I ask
is that you Paypal me the shipping cost after I send them. That would be
the real shipping cost plus the price of the new postal service plastic
envelope...in North America I'd guess between $6 and $12 depending on
weight but i'll send them anywhere in the world. Don't ask about
shipping costs in advance please, I don't have time to check that for
you. If you want to check yourself the stuff will be shipping via Canada
Post from Vancouver, BC, Canada V5T 4R8
For the record I'm not necessarily going to do a first come first serve
thing here...for example Carr has dibs on the sight reading books. ;)
I'll leave the list up a few days and try to send them out the next
couple of weeks.
To request something please email me with your shipping address.

you want something.
