I have some books to sell. I usually sell them only on the Betsy-Tacy email list I belong to, but this time I'm going to donate 100% of the profits to the Red Cross to help with the tsunami disaster, and I thought some of my readers might be interested. So your postage cost will go to postage, but the book cost will go to the RC. Postage in the U.S. is $2.00 for the first book and $.50 for each additional book. If you live outside the U.S. contact me for the shipping rate. This book sale is going to be Paypal only.

This is a long list; most of them are children's/YA books but some are adult fiction as well. If you have any questions about condition or plot or anything, please email me at melissa@ladydisdain.com. If you see anything you'd like, email me for a total and Paypal info. I'll update this constantly as stuff is purchased.
