I have a large collection of books, rare books, magazines, maps, charts, etc. I really hate to sell any of my research stuff but I want to buy some books that I need and the way things are right now I figure I could recycle…. Sell some and buy some. I was going to put them in ebay or craiglist but I rather give my Tnet family first option. They all are different topics and locations so I will do several packages. I will be very reasonable with the price compared to what I paid for them. Please send me a PM if you are interested in any of them…
#1
The fist package is a small collection of 21 treasure hunting magazines 14 are from the 70’s (I guess collector items) the oldest one being from 72, 73, (3) 74 and so on, these are 30 some years old going into 40. 4 from the 90’s and 3 from 2003. I bought them right here on Tnet a few years ago, I believe I paid $100.00 for them. I will be willing to sell for $80.00 OBO + shipping

Second package was my Florida beach detecting information kit. All the way from Key West to Cape Canaveral.
This includes;
Book “Famous Shipwreck of the Florida keys” by Bob Weller
Booklet “1733 Spanish Galleon trail”
Book “ Key Guide to the Florida Keys” (All you would want to know about the Keys is in this book) (Very Good book)
Book “Visual Cruising Guide” (This thing has 50 pages cover in plastic (water resistant) on each page it has a nautical chart it covers from Miami all the way to Key West) it still has the sticker price 29.95
Islamorada Chart (still has its sticker price 19.99
A 1889 Key west map (very interesting)
Booklet “25 best –kept secrets to finding treasure”
Book “A True Revelation of That which lately Happened” to the great Spanish fleet by Ernie Richards signed by him on page 3
Book “The Beach Bank” good information of the east coast beaches.
Book “Hurricane Treasure” 1715 beach sites.
I paid a bit over $100.00 for all of it. I guess $65.00 OBO would be a fair price + shipping

The Book “Shipwrecks in Puerto Rico’s History” By Walter Cardona Bonnet 1989 (well known archival investigator)
This is a great book sometimes is hard to find and when you do find it sells for 125.00 or more so I will be willing to sell for $80.00 OBO + shipping

Yes I know..I saw it….Obviously some one that doesn’t know what they have in their hands…They only have two, a new one for $15.00 and a used one for 9.99….I f I was you I would buy both of them and hold on to them. The regular price is $125.00. Any one who knows about this book knows its real value. Sometimes this book is very hard to find, this was not a top seller but the author is a very good researcher who has gone every year to the archives in Spain for the last 20 years. I know Walter since I was 8 years old and I am 42 now. This book may not be very famous but every single word of information is fist hand direct from the archives. I have no problem I will wait until those are sold.....
All the best,

This Cardona's book has more valuable information about shipwreck in Puerto Rico than Bob Marx's book-"Shipwrecks in the America". It's more detailed. Good luck selling your books. I will be next week in Puerto Rico metal detecting underwater at SJ. Stay tune in "Beach & Shallow Water" for the pics, after the 29th.
I am from P.R. if you need any inside tips let me know I know of a few good wrecks....Enjoy the island "La isla del Encanto"
