Howdy, all --
I've got a list of woo books that have come into my possession and that I'd like to offer, gratis (except for shipping, which you'd need to send me via PayPal) to anyone who maintains a library of such stuff, on a first come, first serve basis. If you're uncomfortable with the idea of free books (less shipping), please feel free to give a donation to JREF (NOTE: THIS GIVEAWAY HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH JREF AND IS NOT ENDORSED OR SANCTIONED BY THE FOUNDATION IN ANY WAY).
Ultimately (since I have to get these things out of the house), unclaimed books will probably go to some book-accepting charity in the hope that someone can get some actual (non-woo) use out of them. I'd throw them away, but books -- like stuffed animals -- talk to me, so that's really out of the question.* Therefore, I'd prefer that skeptics, especially ones researching popular woo in print literature, get an opportunity to pick out what they'd like first.
RSL got first dibs on the Sylvia Browne stuff and the JREF on the others, so the rest is up for grabs. If you are interested or have any questions about the books themselves, PM me with a list of those books in which you're interested and we can continue on from there.
Mods: I didn't see a "marketplace" type Forum (though I'm not sure that would count since I'm not actually selling anything), but if this is in the wrong place, by all means please move it!

*Only partially joking. By "talking to me", I mean that I have a deep, ingrained respect for books, regardless of their content. I even hate throwing the unrepairably broken ones away.
