Search the internet and you’ll find individual copies of these items tend to be scarce and sell for more individually than we are asking for them together. We offer all these items together at a reduced price because we need to cull our library of volumes quickly. That’s why we will sell the items together and will not separate them for individual sale. Requests to do so will not be answered. Seller’s statement: As I continue to downsize my collection of books, I’m focusing on unusual phenomena, occultism, magic and related subjects. I’ve offered several difficult-to-find items on eBay in the hope of reaching a broader group of collectors. It’s possible that some may be of interest to you. Please glance over these current items is the "More from this Seller" section. Thank you!
