I switched to audible downloads and don’t want to haul these up north with me. If you want any, they’re yours for the asking (but you’ll need to pick up). They’re all paperback unless specified, and all in decent condition. Any left over will either go to the library or recyling bin.

update: Awesome! Great response and I feel good knowing they’re going into good hands.
I tried to be as fair as possible in distributing them – see names above, beside the book names.
@Kate – I’ll be at the Cambie on Tue, 4-6pm, work goodbye beers. Care to pop by then? I’ll try to remember. OR, I’m having an exit interview on Monday, and could drop by just prior, to your office – you’re 7th floor, yes?
@Sandra – are you available to pop by to pick it up? Perhaps Sat afternoon? or…?
@E – same question as for @Sandra?
@MJ and @JK and @Isabella just pop by before/after Sunday, I’m thinking?
Thanks again everyone. And new visitors, there are still some left above, so claim away.
