To give away to a good home:
I was at a church rummage sale today, and bought a brand new, still shrink-wrapped, soft cover copy of Leaders Count, the Story of BNSF Railway, by Lawerence H. Kaufman. It set me back exactly 50 cents*.* I have read this book, and it is a good one. I will mail it to the first person who posts on this thread that he would like the book. I’ll even pay the postage. Anybody interested?
Yep, very interested indeed.
You have my email address…
Great! Can you PM me a mailing address? I’ll ship it out Monday.
I’ll call your ‘very’, and raise you an ‘extremely’.
Zardoz- Ed was too quick for you there. But, I’ve got a deal for you: I found another copy I had purchased with a box of books on the cheap. It has a slightly ripped up cover. If you can look beyond that, I’d be happy to ,mail it to you. PM me an address. I’m going to the post office anyway. [:P]
I have about a gazillion books that I need to thin down. I may be giving some others away as well.
Got anything on South Dakota that needs thinning?
Sorry, I don’t. The only book I have on S.D. is one by Rick Mills about railroading in the Black Hills. Most of the info in it seems to be from another book I read, written by a woman back in the 40’s or 50’s. Mills does have 2 good books about The Milwaukee and the CNW in S.D. I haven’t run accross any copies that were affordable yet.
Murphy,
Tell you what…send me the copy with the rip and send Big Z the clean copy…because as soon as I read it, I think I will post it here in the same manner as you have, make it sorta a round robin book, first taker gets it as long as they agree to pass it on when done.
Sound like a plan to you?
Now thats a friend right there! Bravo Zulu Ed.
Well, almost. I haven’t heard from Zardoz yet, and your copy is already addressed, heading for the post office this morning. If you want, you could rip the cover a bit before sending it on to someone else. [(-D]
Please check your PM’s. If my message isn’t there, please let me know via this thread.

Ed & Zardoz- As of 9:00 this morning, both packages are in the care of the US Postal Service. Keep an eye out for them.
Cool deal,
Thanks again.
Ed
Houston Ed as soon as your done send the book to me I will pm you my Address.
ditto…
[bow]
Book arrived yesterday morning…I am about 1/2 way through it…interesting read in some places.
Will send it on to Ed Benton as soon as I get it finished.
(yesterday was an oddity, an entire day with nothing to do, nothing to fix or repair, and no softball games to drop the daughters off at)
Just wait until you become an empty nester- you’ll have to find a hobby. [C=:-)][4:-)][oX)][dinner]
No fair! You had a day off, and no honey-do list? [:O] Oh, wait. You probably don’t have to bag leaves and get the snowblower ready for the season right now-do you?
Butch- I’ve got a copy of 125 Years of Black Hills Railroading by Rick Mills. Are you interested?
Hey, Murphy - tell me again why we choose to live in the ‘‘snowbelt’’ ? [%-)]
