    More books! I can't even believe it!

    Ok you optical Pro's. I am digging really deep into my collection and am offering up 4 classic optical books that you Must Have for your collection! I am asking a ridiculous amount per book knowing tht you cheap *******s will beat me down, and I expect to bundle these together for better pricing.


    1.) Ophthalmic Dispensing, 3rd edition; Russell Stimson
    This is an out of print Classic! This copy is in great condition. The only flaw is that there are some pages that are loose due to poor glueing on the binding. The pages are white, uncreased and almost pristine. It is used, but gently handled. This is a blue cover gem. They are priced all over the spectrum for various conditions.

    $150 OBO

    2.) Clinical Refraction, 3rd edition; Borish

    SOLD

    3.) Clinical Optics, 2nd edition; Fannin
    The title says it all. This copy is in great to excellent condition.

    $75 OBO + shipping

    4.) Management for Opticians, 2nd edition; Appler
    It is management for Opticians....need I say more?

    SOLD



    These are all very helpful, respected texts for our business. My goal is to sell them off as a lot so that I can cry once instead of 4 separate times.

    Winter is here and I fear that I will not be able to continue to heat the house and feed my two little children ( Labrador Retrievers) without sacrificing and selling these treasures!

    Please take mercy on me and buy all 4 and help me feed my children (Labs).

    I am sorry to hear that you are not a fisherman! Wonderfull as labs are, no fisherman in his right mind would have one for a pet.

    Still waiting on a response!

    Do you want them?

    I can inscribe them on clay tablets and read them to you at the FezzJohns Corporate Shenanigan and Revelry meeting at VEE!

    Come on guys, help Fezz out here!

    These books are classics and he's selling them at great prices. I would have taken them along with the other two but I already have them.

    They'll make a great addition to some loving home's optical library.

    Thanks Fezz! Got the books in great shape.

    Wow, the one on refraction is a big one. Thirteen hundred plus pages with TINY print and no pictures! It's going to take me a long time to read that one. They do look great on the shelf. Makes me look smart!

    Actually, there were 1391 pages, but 84 of them were pictures. Fezz gave me a really good deal on them! (I'll send them to you after I'm finished....for a price of course!)

    I guess that you don't really want them!

    I have sent several PM's, with no response to the last few.

    Bummer.

    So............I still have two books left folks! I would like to unload them as a set. These are in great shape (except the loose pages-noted). I take care of and respect my things (except the JUNK I sold to Optical24/7).

    If you are actually interested and won't jerk me around.....let me know!

    I need the funds BADLY!

    I am planning on outfitting the patrons (Bar Flys) down at the Stumble Inn with PD sticks for the FezzJohns Pea Fling'in and Funny Noise Making Contest!*

    Come on, buy these....it is for a good cause!










    *I may not fund the PD purchase with the funds, I may actually use it to fund the FezzJohns Gullet Splashing Event!

    Tempting!

    Are these the collector's addition?

    Ok folks, last call!

    I figured that these classics would interest many of you.

    Wrong!

    Last chance before I put them back under the broken poker table down at the Stumble Inn!

    Sort of........

    I donated them to the boys down at the OddFellows Lodge. A few of the Ole Boys were so tickled with the "results" that they continue to buy me rounds down at The Stumble Inn. So in reality, I am far better off than if I had sold them!

    Hey, listen.......I got a mint copy of A Fly Went By (McClintock). Would you like it as a gift for doing so well in optics?
