As part of a continuing effort to pare my life down to manageable
proportions, an eclectic selection of books is offered:

_Frommer's London '92-'93 on $45 a Day_ .  $12 new, yours for $6.

_Frommer's England '92 on $50 a Day_.  $17 new, yours for $9.

_Creative Design:  Party & Table Decorations_.  If you've ever wondered
 how waiters fold napkins so they look like butterflies or fans or lotus
 blossoms, this is the book for you.  Profusely illustrated in color.  Lots
 of cutesy party decor ideas.  $12.50 new, yours for $6.

_Dave Barry Slept Here:  A Sort of History of the United States_.  $15.95
 new, yours for $8.

_The Modern Man's Guide to Life: Advice and Information about Everything_.
 Whether you want to learn how to emergency-pilot an airplane, take a leak
 without dripping, attend a fancy dinner party and not look like a fool, or
 hitch a ride on a boxcar, this book has it all.  $12.95 new, yours for $7.

Cookbooks I never use, for one reason or another, and some massive
works of fiction:

_Sunset's Entertaining for All Seasons_.  Menus, recipes, lots of
 pictures.  I think I got this one as a bargain book, so it's yours
 for $2.  My cookbook book shelf will thank you.

_Having Tea:  Recipes & Table Settings_.  Beautifully-done book with
 scenarios for afternoon tea.  $17.95 new, yours for $9.

_The Frugal Gourmet Cooks American_.  I don't know if you can trust a man
 who never eats dessert, but there are a wide variety of regional cuisines
 presented here.  Book club edition, yours for $6.

_Better Homes and Gardens Chocolate_.  As you could probably tell by the
 name, bargain book, nothing special.  Yours for $2.

_Whirlwind_, by James Clavell.  Set in the Tai-Pan/Noble House universe,
 only in Iran.  $22.95 new, yours for $11.

_The Stand_, by Stephen King (complete & uncut edition).  $24.95 new,
 yours for $12.

A rather unusual "book"...

_A Treasury of Baby's Days (Birth to Seven Years)_.  A blank baby book,
 bought in anticipation of a baby that never arrived.  Don't remember
 what I paid for it, but it's yours for $4.

_Disneyland:  The First Quarter Century_.  Hardcover souvenir book from
 the original Magic Kingdom.  Yours for $5.

_To Sail Beyond the Sunset_, by Robert A. Heinlein.  I paid $18.95, it's
 yours for $6.

_2010: Odyssey Two_, by Arthur C. Clarke.  Should be subtitled "How to
 Milk a Classic for All It's Worth".  Oh well.  Original price $14.95,
 yours for $7.

_2061: Odyssey Three_, by Arthur C. Clarke.  What she said.  Book club
 edition.  You buy Odyssey Two, I'll throw this one in for free.  Take
 this book...please.

_Red Storm Rising_, by Tom Clancy.  Can you believe this guy used to be an
 insurance agent?  I paid $19.95, you pay $9.

_Skeleton Crew_, by Stephen King.  Can you believe this guy used to work in
 a laundromat?  You can?  $18.95 new, $8 to you.

_Here Comes the Guide_ (1990 edition), a must for anyone trying to
 figure out where to get married in the Bay Area.  Sailing ships, art
 museums, parks, wineries, even the cable car barn...they're all in
 here.  $11.95 new, yours for $5.

_Bed & Breakfast Guide:  California, Oregon, and Washington_ (1986
 edition).  By no means complete--there are more comprehensive B&B
 guides out on the market--but it is beautifully illustrated with color
 photos.  I don't know about you, but this book makes *me* want to go
 somewhere this weekend.  $12.95 new, yours for $5.

_An Incomplete Education_.  The authors take on American Studies, Art History,
 Economics, Film, Literature, Music, Philosophy, Political Science,
 Psychology, Religion, Science, and World History in one highly
 readable 656-page volume.  On Frank Lloyd Wright:  "By his own
 admission, Wright was the greatest architect of all time."  On
 Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt:  "The closest we ever had to a king
 and a queen.  Or to a pair of kings, but let's leave Eleanor's sexual
 preferences out of this, shall we?"  On European art movements:  "Be
 grateful we edited out Orphism, Vorticism, Suprematism, and the Scuola
 Metafisica at the last minute."  A great bathroom book.  $24.95 new,
 your very own for $12.

_Dictionary of Needlepoint Stitches_.  192 pages of just what it sounds like.
 Probably a bargain book, so I'll let this one go for $2.

_Better Homes and Gardens Crocheting & Knitting_.  Another bargain book for
 2 bux.

_Needle Notes for Square Dancers, Volumes 1 and 2_.  Invaluable advice on
 sewing square dance costumes.  Would probably also be helpful for folk
 dancers.  I paid $8 each for these; you can have them both for $6.

All books in good condition.  10% discount on the purchase of two or more.
If shipping is necessary, add 10% to the total.  Minimum shipping charge
$1.00.
