[Pete B]

In my continuing effort to downsize I would like to offer the following books for sale. All prices include media mail within the USA. I will gladly mail to other countries at cost. I will accept paypal or your check. Send me a pm if you see something you want.

I have tried to price everything fairly, but I am open to offers, especially for multiple titles.

Thanks for looking

Pete

The Max Harrison is recommended !

[Chuck Nessa]

Hendersonia is fantastic.

[paul secor]

Schuller's Early Jazz is a book that will help you to think about your listening and Bud Freeman's Crazeology contains some good stories. I recommend both.

[Big Beat Steve]

Hendersonia is fantastic.

[jlhoots]

Schuller's Early Jazz is a book that will help you to think about your listening and Bud Freeman's Crazeology contains some good stories. I recommend both.
