Did you see my fashion books for sale?

Same conditions apply. Asking price does not include shipping. First person to speak up gets dibs. Payment expected within five days of your speaking up, and I'll ship within 48 hours (Ideally, I'd like to get these things in the mail before my surgery on the 16th). They come from a smoke-free house, but we have cats. I'll take PayPal, money orders or cash (mail at your peril). If you live in the SF Bay Area, I'm willing to discuss a personal dropoff (most likely at/near a BART station) to save you the shipping. I will ship media mail or USPS Priority (insurance & tracking), your choice. Overseas shipment okay, as long as you're alright with the cost of postage. All sales final.

I've included ISBNs so you can do your own research if you like.

Old World of Darkness V:tM Sourcebooks
All in good/very good condition.

Clanbook Assamite - 156504214X - $7 - SALE PENDING
Clanbook Toreador - 1565040953 - $6 - SALE PENDING
Clanbook Tremere - 1565041151 - $6 - SALE PENDING
Clanbook Tzimisce - 1565042166 - $7 - SALE PENDING
Blood Bond. ASIN: B000F3P6TC. The very first V:tM supplement published. This is the original supplement, not the reissue in the later city sourcebooks. Condition fine/good - slight wear on all edges, minor bumping to bottom corner. Miraculous, the binding is still intact - it's infamous for falling apart. $8
-- Or you can have the lot (of what remains) - clanbooks and sourcebook - for $30

Funky Graphic Collections
All American Ads of the 1930s - 3822816205 - Large softcover book (heavy - over 5lbs). For some reason, the ISBN is coming up as "Spanish edition". There's a multi-lingual introduction (including English) and then there's no text at all, so I don't think it matters all that much. Minor bumping/wear on corners of the cover, slight bump at top of spine. $25
All-American Ads of the 1970s - 382281265X - Large softcover book (heavy - over 5lbs). Corners are curled in from wear and there's some bumping on the top of the spine, and the cover edges are curled inwards slightly, like something heavy was kept atop it for a while. Fantastically kitschy. $20
-- Or get both for $40.

I'm sharing this link with the world at large, so let me get the caveats out of the way, first

Prices do NOT include shipping. Keep in mind that when I say big, I mean it. I'd be loathe to send any of the big books overseas as the shipping would be astronomical - but if you're willing to pay it, I'll ship it.

First person to speak up gets the book. (And boosting the signal on this post is a-okay, btw)

I will accept PayPal, money orders or well-wrapped cash (send at your own risk). Again, asking prices do not include shipping. I intend to ship anything via media mail. If you want to pay for UPS or USPS Priority mail so that you get package tracking with it, I'm happy to arrange that, but it will cost more - quite a bit more, in most cases. All books come from a smoke-free home, but we have several cats. Payment is expected within 5 days of your commitment to buy, and I'll ship with 48 hours of receiving payment. If you have to use PayPal's "e-check" function, I will wait for the check to clear before shipping. All Sales Are Final

Hyperlinks point to Amazon pages for the same edition - their descriptions are better than mine. I've included ISBNs if you want to do your own research on a title.

"So 80s: A Photography Diary of a Decade" - Patrick McMullan. 1576871878 - Big heavy hardback. Slipcover has small tear at top and the edges are definitely ragged. Binding still tight and pages are bright though. $25

"Fashion: The Century of the Designer" by Charlotte Seeling. 3829029802 - another big and heavy hardback. Slipcover is generally worn, page edges slightly yellowed. (the customer images on Amazon are dreadful. It's a big red doorstop of a coffee table book). $30

"Black and Beautiful: How Women of Color Changed the Fashion Industry" - Barbara Summers. Slight bumping on edges of spine and small signs of wear on edges of the cover. Some small scratches on front cover which are slight, but visible. Pages are tight and bright. 006095812X $30

"The Fashion Book" - 071483808x - oversized Phaidon hardback in very good condition (I'd even go so far as to say 'near mint'), the plastic & slipcover still in place. This is not the softcover, which is what you'll get if you pick up the $5 item from Amazon/ABEbooks used-book sellers. $15

"Archeology of Elegance - 1980 - 2000 - 20 years of fashion photography" edited by Marion de Beaupre et al. HEAVY. Slipcover is a bit grimy because white slipcovers are such a good idea. $50 EDIT: I have discovered that I own TWO copies of this book (don't ask me how that happened), and have changed the listing to reflect the copy in better condition.

"Couture: an Illustrated History of the Great Paris Designers and Their Collections" edited by Ruth Lyman - slipcover is very badly torn on the front and there's some writing and a used-bookstore price sticker on it. Library of Congress number: 72-80012. $5

"Introduction to Bobbin Lacemaking" Rosemary Shepherd. Very good condition - I think I read it once and then put it on the shelf. 091689665x. $20
