Books
I have way too many books to take with me, so I’ve decide to give most of them away before I leave Ottawa. If you’re in Ottawa and want one or several (or in Nova Scotia if you only want a few, or maybe further afield if you can convince me to mail something to you), post here or get in touch. I had a hard time bringing myself to give up some of these, but I decided I had to be ruthless about it.
