I received an email from a lady whose mother was a legal secretary for many years. Her mom would have been 100 this year, and as the executor of her state, she wants to find a new home for her mom’s materials. I agreed to post the list of available titles in the hopes that the members of the blog may be interested. Her mom learned Anniversary, but she collected books from many series along the years.

If you are interested in any of these materials, just send me a note and I’ll put you in contact with her.
