Hey everyone,
Life is changing, and I am moving into a much smaller environment. I have a pretty good collection of books on the subject of canoes and canoeing.
This includes all of Sigurd Olson’s books, plus books on the BWCAW and Quetico areas, strip canoe building, etc. I am looking to find them a good home. I would prefer to send them all to one caretaker, but the main purpose of this post is to find out if there is any interest in my library.
I would “sell” them for the price of shipping plus $20.
If there is interest, I can give a more complete listing of what books I have.
Thanks,
Don

Don.

I live in NW Indiana. Might be interested.

Shoot me an email.
