Most of these books were my grandparents, and some go back to the early 1900's. I was amazed when Googling them last night that many are still available on the Internet, some now on the new free download sites (Open Library, maybe?), and many still available in university and state libraries throughout the world. Most are in quite good shape, especially considering the age. The date I've included in brackets is the original copyright dates, not necessarily the dates of the edition available.

Short descriptions, or at least the genre provided:

1. “The Sound Wagon” by T.S. Stribling Satirical novel of the corruption in political campaigns (1935)

2. “I Found No Peace” by Webb Miller. The journal of a foreign correspondent (1936)

3. “Island in the Atlantic” by Waldo Frank. Novel - Life story of a middle-class New Yorker of Jewish descent (1946)

4. *“Miss Billy Married” by Eleanor H. Porter - Novel (1914)

5. “Live with Lightning” by Mitchell Wilson. A Novel (1949)

6. “Merry-go-Round” by Claire MacMurray (1946)

It tells the story of a distinguished member of Parliament who, through excessive indulgence, has nearly ruined his political career and his homelife and so persuades his cousin to double for him when he can not cope (1902)

17. “Then and Now” by W. Somerset Maugham. Description: A novel which finds a parallel to the turmoil of the 20th century in the duplicity, intrigue and sensuality of the Italian Renaissance. Maugham enters the world of Machiavelli and covers three important months in the career of that crafty politician, worldly seducer and high priest of schemers. (1946)

18. “A Trembling of a Leaf” by W. Somerset Maugham. Short story collection of the South Sea Islands. (1921)

I have 2 pieces of exercise equipment to give away before the week's end as I am
getting a treadmill.  I have an exercise bike. It is about 19 years old but
works fine.  Is a little heavy so may need help getting out of your vehicle but
we can help put it in.  I also have a Bun and Thigh Isolator.  It sounds strange
but you sit on it and use your legs to push yourself back. It does work as when
I use it I am sore the next day.  jsut not enough room for it once the treadmill
arrives.  Pick up on St Laurent near Montreal Rd.

Hi, I have been diagnosed with osteopenia in my hips and thighs, and have been
prescribed a series of exercises to do using ankle weights.
If you have ankle weights (2.5 lbs or heavier) that you are no longer using,
please consider passing them on so that I may start to rebuild my bone mass. I
live in the Westboro area, but I can pick up from somewhere else if within
bicycling distance.
Thank you for your consideration.

This well constructed unit is very solid and is about 15 years old. It is
working well. I don't know any technical details such as motor size. Having done
a lot of research in buying my new treadmill I suggest that this unit likely has
a maximum user weight of 200 lbs.

I have a trailer and can help deliver but would prefer that whoever takes it
brings along a partner to do the lifting.

Featurs include: incline; calorie counter; distance counter (in miles) and heart
rate sensor. No electronic programs or fancy bells and whistles.

Available for pickup anytime after Thursday, November 26th.

I am located near the corner of Fallowfield and Woodroffe
