Posted in BOOKS

I found a great book seller on EBAY. She has sell it now prices on all her books , which means you are not trying to bid and win them, you just buy them . Her shipping is very resonable and she combines S&H for multiple buys. Her prices are fantastic!!

I paid $3.99 for each of these books for my grandkids. I found the same books at my local farm and ranch store for around $25 each.

If you EBAY give her shop a look see!!
