Book swap at Kitchen Conference?

Or elsewhere if interested?

Like most of you, I have a ton of books. Many of mine are collecting dust in my basement since they are safer there then in the hands of my daughter. I've decided to unload a few of them.

If I bring a box of books to the Kitchen Conference, would anyone be interested in taking a few off my hands?

They are not all Civil War, though there will be some. They are not all non-fiction. Any Jack Higgins fans out there? How about Cold War era spy stories? Any interest?

Just give them a good home or pass them on when your done. That's all I ask...

The following list...

The following list are some of the books I am bringing:

"John Paul Jones" by Evan Thomas: I read this book in the first weeks of my daughters life. She cried all the way through. I couldn't put the book down. The author is very critical of those holding back Jones in the early American navy. And the book is not all praise for our hero. Non-fiction.
"The First World War" by John Keegan: If you have read anything else by the author then this will meet your expectations. A clear and concise historian. Covers both the politics of the time and the action in the field. Non-fiction.
"Fox on the Rhine" by Douglas Niles and Michael Dobson: Hitler is assasinated, the conspirators sign a peace deal with Russia and Rommel attacks Patton at the Battle of the Bulge. Fiction.
"Blind Man's Bluff" by Sherry Sontag and Christopher Drew: The Cold War espionage of American's silent service. Non-fiction.
"Special Ops" by W.E.B. Griffin: I don't even know if I ever finished this one. Sorry.
"Shadow Warriors" by Tom Clancy and General Carl Stiner: An inside look at the history of Special Forces. Great book. Very interesting. Non-fiction.
"The Boxer Rebellion" by Dianna Preston: The politics and intrigue of a strange little war in the summer of 1900. Non-fiction.
"Game, Set, Match" by Len Deighton: Cold War espionage written by a master. Spy against spy in the days of the Berlin Wall going up. Fiction.
"Spy Line" by Len Deighton: I don't remember this book much. But I have liked everything by Mr. Deighton. Fiction.
"Mamista" by Len Deighton: One more spy tale. Fiction.
"Night of the Fox" by Jack Higgins: Jack Higgins is the author of "The Eagle has Landed". All his books are eye candy for guys. Plenty of action. Fast pace. Good Tales. Fiction.
"Flight of the Eagles" by Jack Higgins: Fiction.
"Edge of Danger" by Jack Higgins: Fiction.
"Midnight Runner" by Jack Higgins: Fiction.
"The Whitehouse Connection" by Jack Higgins: Fiction.
"Crazy Horse and Custer" by Stephen Ambrose: Never read it. It just never seems to make it to the top of my pile. So I'm passing it on in hopes someone will tell me how it turns out. :) Non-fiction.
"The Civil War, Strange & Fascinating Facts" by Burke Davis: Short stories and tales. Non-fiction.
"The Portable Curmudgeon" by Jon Winokur: Quips and quotes.
"The Killer Angels" by Michael Shaara: This is an audio book on four cassette tapes. I think most of you will recognize the title so I wont explain more.
