Mike Craw Posted May 24, 2021 Report Posted May 24, 2021 These books are long out of print and selling for hundreds on Ebay. I think the Design Artistry is up over $200, the Leather Secrets over $250 and Griffin's is close to $200. The F.O. Baird books are original condition with no missing pages or marks. They are over 70 years old, so the paper is dry but not tattered and the fold-out patterns in the Secrets book are all intact. Ken Griffins book came to me with tattered edges and no binding or envelope, so I had it laminated at a local printing shop to preserve and protect it. That's why it appears so shiny in the photo of the corners. I listed them here rather than Ebay because I would prefer that they go to a leather worker who would value and use them. I would take $400 for all three. My choice early in life was either to be a piano-player in a whorehouse or a politician. And to tell the truth, there's hardly any difference. Harry S. Truman
Northmount Posted May 24, 2021 Report Posted May 24, 2021 @Mike Craw Please identify where you will ship to and who pays shipping costs as per the Marketplace Rules. Thanks.
Mike Craw Posted May 24, 2021 Author Report Posted May 24, 2021 Sorry, I never sold anything on here before, and I didn't even think about the possibility of interest from out of the country. I have no idea how much it would be to ship to Canada, but it if's steep I would split the cost if you'd like.

I was giving you some direction in my capacity as a moderator for this site. You may have interests from other locations too.

Mike Craw Posted May 25, 2021 Author Report Posted May 25, 2021 OK, I hadn't considered that. I guess we will discuss shipping with a potential buyer. Thanks for your help.
