I posted here<\/a> about my next big adventure with my oldest son, so I won\u2019t tell you again about that being the motivation for the sale of these cool books. For those new to my blog, I\u2019m a way, way, way amateur collector of old books. I enjoy it, but I\u2019m not so committed to these \u201cold stories\u201d that I don\u2019t gladly give them up to finance the writing of some new stories with my kids. <\/p>\n

These books for sale span 4 centuries of human history.<\/p>\n

\"1669<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This one<\/a> was published in the 1600s!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"1767<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This one<\/a> in the 1700s.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"1886<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This one<\/a> was printed in the 1800s.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Bacons<\/a> <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This one<\/a> is quite special. Printed in the early 1900s, it is signed by Rev AW Tozer. (I re-listed this because it didn\u2019t hit my obviously too optimistic reserve last time. I\u2019ve lowered it to $200).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"1964<\/a> <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And this one<\/a> is from the 1960s, another very cool piece of Church of Christ\/Restoration Movement history. Like new.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thanks to those of you who consistently bid (or forward these on to people who do) when I do this. <\/p>\n

On another note of gratitude, the December invitation to give the Christmas gift of survival meals to hungry orphans and widows in Zimbabwe<\/a> resulted in the provision of over 75,000 meals! <\/p>\n

I can\u2019t thank you all enough. <\/p>\n

I love and appreciate you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
