THE LEATHERMAN’S HANDBOOK BY LARRY TOWNSEND. 1972 THIS IS THE FIRST PRINT EDITION AND I DON’T HAVE TO EXPLAIN HOW RARE THIS IS. The book is super solid. It essentially just has some cosmetic wear to the cover and a couple minor creases to the binding…. pages are super tight and the book overall is extremely solid. I haven’t seen one of these in several years, and the one that I saw before was not nearly as nice as this one is. I have another copy listed. THIS COPY IS NICER CONDITION AND COMES WITH THE SOFTBOUND HANDBOOKS I,II and III AND COMES WITH AN ADDITIONAL SOFTBOUND “CHAINS” WHICH IS ANOTHER BOOKLET WITH PHOTOS BY LARRY TOWNSEND. All of these larger, soft bound books are in incredibly great shape. I’ve never seen all of them all on the same place before and not in this nice of condition. They are fully intact, but do have cosmetic wear. This is a super great find to be able to get all of these at one time altogether, and in the condition that these items are in. SOLD TO THE PERSON WHO WANTS THEM MOST. DO NOT SEND ME OFFERS. DO NOT ASK ME TO BREAK UP THE SET. This is my second account just for PULPS As we all know as collectors of these rare paperback novels, eBay has started restricting the sales of them starting August of 2022. Many of us have had our accounts restricted for unreasonable reasons as a result. I have been a collector of these books myself for over 30 years and love, getting rare and unusual copies to the people who love them and collect them. I have an adjacent account and I have had to stop selling the majority of my books on that account because it has hurt me financially. I have created this account specifically for these types of books and I am trying to abide by eBay rules as much as possible to continue offering. What is allowable from what I have. I’m here trying to maintain the presence of these types of books in this niche to stop eBay from trying to completely squash it. I pay a lot of money for the inventory that I get and my hope is that people like the assortment. Thank you. It is my hope that eventually I will create an independent website to sell the items that eBay will no longer allow as a means for the community to find collectibles that they like and I will donate a percentage back to LGBTQ causes. Until that happens? Here I am. I sell to collectors. I am not a flea market or yard sale. Please do not treat me like one. I list the books based on condition, rarity, and how much I personally have invested in the book. And I often invest a lot of money in the books that I prepare so that I have them for the assortment. This is a labor of love for me, and I am fighting the discrimination for everyone. I have more money invested in book inventory than I can count. Trying to counter eBay to allow us to share this niche of books to represent our cultural history. I appreciate everyone’s support and kindness, I try to form a friendship and a relationship with every seller and buyer that I work with. I appreciate you more than you know. DO NOT SEND ME OFFERS. READ THAT AGAIN. Guys, if I wanted to be a flea market, I would be set up with a table somewhere. I asked for the respect and understanding that that is not how I do business. I do not need to know how much you think a book should be listed at, or anything else. It’s simple, mutual respect. If I want to price a book for less? I will do that when I’m ready. So the best thing to do is to add any items that you’re interested in to your watchlist and as a price reduction is made you will be notified of that. I am the caregiver to two people and I ask for this consideration in advance and I appreciate people understanding and not filling my message box up with things I’m not open to. If you ran a business? You would run it the way that you thought you should, and the same goes for me. I appreciate you understanding. I literally have thousands of books and I offer them as I list them. Please check back or favorite this selling account as it is a new account and it’s only allowing me to list up to 200 items at a time right now until it grows. My other account has been growing for 15 years but I can no longer sacrifice my income over a restriction that may come out of the blue for no reason. This is what has been going on since August 2022. I’m not here looking to be a bad seller or break rules, I’m here to offer items that I think should be able to be allowed at eBay and get them to the people that I know would like to have them. And I can’t have my other account be impacted ALL BOOKS ARE AND WILL BE IN NICE CONDITION UNLESS NOTED. I DON’T EVEN LIKE TO PURCHASE BOOKS UNLESS THEY ARE NICE BUT EXCEPTIONS HAPPEN. If you have any questions regarding an item, I will be more than happy to try to answer them for you. Otherwise, you are understanding that you are getting the book shown in the photos of the listing. All books will be intact and any major flaws if there are any WILL BE LISTED. It is your responsibility to ask questions that may be other concern you BEFORE you transact with me. I’ve been doing this for a long time and I do not accept returns and I do not do this “not as described/not as listed”’game some buyers like to play. Your book will be inspected, come in a cello protector, surrounded by a cardboard protector, and if need be, will be insured to full value. Again NO RETURNS. I’ve been doing this for 18 years and pride myself on being honest and ethical, and I ask that of my customers in return. I appreciate your understanding, your kindness, and support more than you know. It means the world to me. Thank you for looking!
