Here's the deal- we have these Huntington Library Quarterlies listed at
$150 and will sell them for $100, a 33% discount, plus $5 shipping (they
are quite heavy), IF the buyer will send $15.00 to the ABAA Benevolent
Fund, a contribution we will match.
So, you pay us $105 and send an extra $15 to the Benevolent Fund (so you
are spending a total of $120) and we will match your contribution and and
the shipping and send $20 to the Benevolent Fund ourselves.
I hope that's clear; if not, please ask me to try to make it clearer. See
the bottom of this email for details about the ABAA Benevolent Fund.

---------THE ABAA BOOKSELLER'S BENEVOLENT FUND-----------
The Bookseller's Benevolent Fund, run by the Antiquarian Bookseller's
Association of America, is a non-profit charity fund established by the
ABAA in 1952 to benefit any bookseller (whether an ABAA member or not -most
are not) in time of personal need. The Fund has given out more money than
it has taken in this year, and is at its lowest point in several years.
The address is-
Antiquarian Booksellers' Benevolent Fund
c/o Antiquarian Booksellers Association of America
20 West 44th Street
New York, NY 10036-6604
It's a worthy cause- anyone else who is thinking of giving back a little
this Holiday Season, please know that all contributions are welcome and
appreciated.
