Greetings -

Remember these Time Life books?

I'm downsizing my 'library' and was wondering if anyone was passionate about having these before I give them to Goodwill. I have the first 6 or 7 in the series and happy to send them to someone looking to give them a good home. All in good condition.

They look cool but I don't know what they are exactly never heard of them now I'm going to google them.

I have a bunch of those as well. Languishing in my garage
They are fantastic books! I know I'm missing some, but definitely they could go to a better home than mine
They are really well put together, beautiful books. I still get mine out every so often!

I had these as well, very nice books. I passed them along to my godson. Ed, if your kids are into that sort of thing they are worth getting.

[GreyWolfVT]

Well Rex my son hates to read and is 13 and my daughter is 17 so not entirely sure either would be into it. But I haven't looked up what they are still. Honestly never heard of them.

Ok so mythology, fairytales, folklore and all of that if the wikipedia entry I found is right my daughter might actually like those but hard to say without asking her.

[Rex]

That is correct on what they are. Neat reads. Certainly something to ask first but you never know until you try.

[GreyWolfVT]

I'm interested. Heck I'm into mythology still so who knows if none of the kids read them my wife and I might just read them.

[Rex]

I enjoyed them, I am sure you would too.

Out of curiosity, anyone have the following two books to lend/sell me? Author passed away and they are out of print (publisher, amazon, and ebay also don't have them). Appreciated!

Author: Dave Duncan

Books: One Velvet Glove, Ethical Swordsman

Thanks!

[Rex]

Unfortunately no. I haven't heard of them before but they look interesting.

I'm not familiar with either, either.

I do see that the 'One Velvet Glove: A Tale of the King's Blades' is available as an audiobook, though.


Maybe a library?

[ravenn4544]

Thanks! Audiobook could be a last resort I never listen to books like that (podcasts, yes, but not books).

Library is a good idea - just searched a bunch in the area but nothing!

Thank you!

[Rex]

You could try a used book search if you haven't already. I have purchased used books from a couple of different places online. This one doesn't have either right now but I have used them in the past with success.
