I have about 2000 old books to sell, so keep an eye out on my listings.  Many, if not most of them, came from the library of Albert E. Smith who was a motion picture pioneer and also co-founded Vitagraph Motion Pictures.  We bought his house from his wife, Lucille (an actress whose stage name was Jean Paige), back in 1968 which included all the books that were in his library and we're finally getting around to selling them and we're selling them for far less than they're worth.  Please bear with me though, because Ebay restricts the amount of listings I can have at one time, so it might take a while for me to list everything.

I also have a lot of artwork, lithographs, oils, antique mirrors, etc that I'll be auctioning off, so check back and check out my other auctions. I'm in a smaller home now and need to purge some of my storage.

Happy to combine shipping if possible!  $2 for each additional book
