All but one of the initial list of cemetery books I posted last week have been spoken for, so I’ve pulled out some more books. There may be still more to come, but for now, here’s the list of what I have for sale. I will also be listing some true crime/serial killer books on my other blog. I’ll add the link here when those go up.
In the meantime, let me know (either in the comments below or through the Contact Me form above) if you are interested in any of these books or if you need more information.
I take paypal.
