I'll offer discounts if you'd like to buy a few books at once, feel free to make me an offer if you'd like.

A note on the publications: I know pyro is a very specialist subject, and so a lot of the book covering the topic are published on the cheap, often using a DIY setup, so may books come out in comb binders or glued soft backs. I purchased all these books myself and did not run off any copies, but it is beyond me to know if any of these were illegally copied, if anyone knows for sure any of these advertised as spiral bound of soft bound were never sold by the author / publisher in this format please let me know and I'll delete it from this sale.

I thought this might be of interest to some of you.

One of our customers took some SEM (scanning electron microscope) photos of our two iron fillings products and were kind enough to copy them back to us with permission to share.
