Checker Books for Sale - from the Estate of Don Goodwin

Don Goodwin died a while back, and this is the list of books which his executor, Evelyn Micallef, is selling. Most are reprints made by Mr. Goodwin, some are originals. Order them from Evelyn Micallef, 16 Romac Dr., Toronto, Ontario M1C 4V6, Canada, email dgoodw9616@rogers.com or call 416-287-9616. Prices are U.S. dollars, personal check or international money order. Book orders shipped the following day, after she receives the check or money order. Some of these may be sold out (call or email to find out). Most books can be obtained in cloth for an extra $10. Mail between the USA and Canada is very slow; packages seem to take several months. Ms. Micallef is also interested in selling the whole bunch. This is the ad in the ACF Bulletin (slightly modified):

THOUSANDS OF CHECKER BOOKS. The Estate of the late Don Goodwin wishes to sell the extensive library of Don Goodwin, estimated to be worth 1 million dollars. The asking price is $250,000 or best offer. Individual books are still offered for sale. Write Evelyn Micallif, 16 Romac Drive, Scarboro, Ontario, MIC 4V6, Canada.

I've typed this from their free book list, which I have reorganized by author (or title if there is no named author). I hope I have made no typos here.
