The following list of books are from my personal library. Their conditions are as brand new and in excellent condition. I have only one copy of each title which is marked paperback or hardcover. If you are interested in purchasing one of these books, please go to my contact page Arlene's Icons - contact and e-mail me with the list number and book title you are interested in and I will send you an e-mail stating if the book is still available. I will also give you the total with shipping and my address where you will send your check. Payment (in US dollars) must be received within 7 days from the time of our communication or it will be available for sale again. When payment is received, your book is sent by Priority Mail and removed from the list.
Shipping charges for most books will be a standard $5.60 and sent in a Priority Mail flat rate envelope (includes tracking) except in cases where noted as some books are oversize and heavy and require additional shipping charges. Prices may change as postal rates so frequently seem to do. If you order several books, or one big heavy book, shipping will be in a Medium flat rate box for $11.40 (includes tracking). ALL SHIPPING QUOTES ARE FOR U.S. DELIVERY ONLY.
Thank you and may you find something that will inspire you. (I am not in the book business so please do not inquire about ordering other titles.)
Happy Hunting! :) (Sorry - this list is not in alphabetical order) (skipped numbers indicate books that were sold - it's easier than renumbering :)
I have more books to add so please visit again. There a number of Roman Catholic titles and a few on Celtic spirituality and I've noted them such. Books noted with 'Spirituality'' stands for 'no specific church affiliation' - if the title is not noted, it is an Orthodox book.
