In summary:

***I have 90 complete issues with no pages missing. The cost of any one complete issue is now one dollar ($1.00) each.

The Keystone Checker Review
A complete and unbound set of James E. Reed's KCR, beginning with the January 1990 issue and ending with the November 1995 issue, for a total of 36 issues in all. Each issue ranges from like new to excellent to good condition. For an example of an issue I consider to be in merely "good condition", there is a little catsup smudge on the front of the July 1993 cover. I regard this publication to be an exceptionally instructional series for beginner and master alike. I had several articles published in this magazine. For this reason, I feel like it's a part of me. $50.

And that's it!

My library is for sale, either on a piecemeal basis, or as an entire set.

Postage and shipping costs will need to be added for all orders.

I ship all of my books from a reputable mailing center called PAK MAIL.

Here is a link to their web site:

http://www.pakmail.com/

What I do is get 3 estimates, one for USPS, one for UPS, and another for Fed Ex or Fed Ex Economy. I make sure that each estimate includes a tracking number.

I then eamil you with each of these estimates. If you choose the cheapest rate, which is usually the case, then this is your postage and shipping cost.

I do not charge for such things as boxes, bubble wrap, popcorn wrap, and shipping labor. All of those charges are on me.

I now accept payments via Pay Pal.

I will end this message with the following statements:

***All prices are negotiable.

***None of my prices are etched in stone.

***Feel free to make me an offer on anything I have.

If you have any further questions, you can email me at the following address:

Good luck to all.

Best Wishes,

Dennis Cayton
