G, no DJ: cover worn, corners bent, contents clean and tight, though slightly browned. Free to a good home. You pay the postage, I'll send you the books. They're heavy, so the postage may add up to a fair amount.

Potluck: Very Miscellaneous

• Robert Bly, Iron John: A Book About Men. Addison-Wesley, 1990. VG/NF. Would be F except corner of last (unprinted) sheet is bent and there is a small dent in the page edges. $0.02.
• Helen Willinsky, Jerk: Barbecue from Jamaica, a recipe book for the serious barbecuer. Crossing Press, Freedom, California, 1990. Paper, VG. $2.25. (If you're not interested in barbecue, just wrap this book up in a package labeled 'Sweets for the Sweet' and give it to your worst enemy. He or she will get the message.)

Most of the notes seem to gloss the German text in English. $3.00.

Music CDs

Except as noted, all are NF in VG packaging. The CDs themselves are flawless, the liner notes are all present and in excellent shape, the jewel cases have the usual scuffing and mild wear from being pulled off of shelves and put back on.
