Tue Jan 18 10:59:30 EST 2022

Hi all,

We have the following historical materials free to a good home. First come,
first served; just send me the titles you'd like and your RIDES code.

All items have been weeded from our collection. Due to age, some of them
are in rougher shape than others. I'm happy to send pictures of specific
titles before shipping out the items.
