Slowly updating https://www.fromoldbooks.org/books-for-sale.html books for sale page.

I am not a bookseller by trade, but have accumulated hundreds of books over the years, and there are too many. The strategy is to try and sell exceptionally interesting ones first and maybe have money for groceries, too!

Some of these i bought to study the layout and typography (e.g. the Four Gospels fac simile). Which i did.
