Library sold  May 3rd - moving club format to pdf

May 3rd  - Mike Donellan at Second Wave

 

Mark Olsoe has exhausted the leads to have museums or libraries take at least part of the library for their books. He found only the library was willing to take them and then only to sell them at a fundraiser.
Mike Donellan at Second Wave agreed to be our speaker at the May 3 meeting. He suggested Mark look on www.bookfinder.com <http://www.bookfinder.com> to get an idea of the high and low worth of the club's books. Then he would come to the May meeting and help us sort thru the books, determine a selling price. Attendees of the May meeting can purchase books that night. Of those not purchased, Mike will take the books he feels are appropriate for his store. He would also help us determine if there are any books that are of high or rare value that might be better sold to Christopher at Seaocean Book Berth (Marine/Maritime/Nautical/Navy Fine used books, 3534 Stone Wy N, Seattle, WA 98103 206.672.9020).
I invited Mike to tell us the story of his store; how it got started and what we could find there.(3601 Greenwood Ave N, Seattle, WA 98103 206.632.4371) He has a proposal that is best that he explain but he said it has worked very well for Seattle Yacht Club and he would extend the same to NWMA.
The list of the library is on the website at:www.nwmultihull.org/library/library.htm <http://www.nwmultihull.org/library/library.htm>
The library has been stored for several years. Over the years books and materials may have been lost, so there will be boxes of untold treasurers. There maybe books, tapes, videos, pamphlets, magazines, articles, newsletter, designs. Look at the library online and you'll recognize some names infamous in the multihull world.
