Oct 2014 cataloging

Pretty much took September off, not unlike previous months. Let's see about October, starting with some oldies.

These five books were pretty difficult to describe and price. Being old there's the temptation to say they are in great condition for being so old. Some sellers go with "average condition for a used book," and that might apply. But they aren't too shabby—especially for being so old!
They aren't first editions but they are in the vicinity. On the shelf, looking at the spine, it would be hard to tell the difference.
