Books Group 3

Books – Group 3:

About 100 books

I have pictures of every single book; inside and outside the cover. Please ask for the link IF you are interested to a Dropbox folder of pictures. The numbers to the left of each title refers to the number I created when taking pictures of all 255 books. The numbers will skip because some went into the other two categories.
