Dear TeXhaxers! [cid:ee017053-2232-4218-9bf6-b2459af1b0ef] I first started using TeX back in 1981 at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, and have been a lifelong TUG member. I recently retired from Villanova University and was unable to toss this collection into the book recycling bin. You can recognize The TeXBook and the LaTeX manuals on the left followed by Michael Spivak's Joy of TeX red cover book on the package AMS-TeX. These are all paperback except for the 4 volume hardbound set from Stephan Bechtolsheim https://www.amazon.com/stores/Stephan-von-Bechtolsheim/author/B001HD3DBW [worth hundreds of dollars all together] I got these from a TeX Wizzard workshop held nearby at the now long gone TV Guide headquarters which used TeX for its program grids back in the 1980s/1990s so a few of its employees were in our local Philly Tex Users Group. I did not yet throw away my Wizzard certificate! Does anyone want this collection? I am willing to ship them USPS paying the postage myself. Karl Berry suggested I make this offer to TeXhax, which I myself used to follow and even print out at the beginning of my career. bob bob jantzen http://www.homepage.villanova.edu/robert.jantzen http://www.drbobenterprises.com
