For Sale: Deadbeat Ex-Housemate’s Cryptography and Security Books, $5 each

As I mentioned in the previous article — in which I announced that I had a Symbolics XL1200 Lisp Machine for sale — I also have a number of my deadbeat ex-housemate’s books. After having held onto them for five years in the expectation that I would send them to him once he paid me back, I have decided to sell his books.

All of them, regardless of original price, are going for five bucks apiece. If you live in Toronto, come pick ’em up (I live in the High Park area). If you need them shipped to you, you’ll have to cover shipping. All are in decent to good condition, all with their covers intact.

Want one? Want ’em all? Contact me at joey@joeydevilla.com.

It’s going to take me a while to catalogue all the books for sale, so I’m going to do them in installments. Here’s the first installment: books on cryptography and information security.
