Linguists and More Than Linguists!  (feel free to pass this ad on to
whomever you think might be interested)

This is an Advertisement to let you know that the board for the CU Linguistics
(Graduate Students) Association is entering the business of

BOOK BUYING AND BOOK SELLING

This is a service to benefit faculty (and students) who wish to sell 
unneeded linguistics texts, and students (and faculty) who wish they 
could buy linguistics text more cheaply than even the used bookstores 
sell them, and anyone else who wishes to Feel Good by donating books to 
a worthy cause (us).

The Deal:
Contact us with books you wish to donate or sell.  You can reach us over
email or (within Woodbury), in the hall.  We will buy them from you for 
the same amount as a used book store--so you Don't Have to risk life and 
wallet by actually entering a used book store!  We will post a listing of 
the books we have on hand every two or three weeks.  If you want to buy 
something we have, we will sell it to you for MUCH LESS (usually) than 
even a used book store would.  How can we promise such great deals?  NO 
OVERHEAD.  VOLUNTEER WORK. JOIN THE CULA BOARD.

The Books:
We deal exclusively in linguistics books, and especially at the beginning, 
we may be kind of selective about which books we buy (we don't have much of 
a start-up budget).  So we probably won't buy most of the old, 1960's 
Introduction to Linguistics books that you have lying around (who doesn't?).  
But we will buy classic linguistic texts (Chomsky's Theory of Syntax, Plank's 
Ergativity), and most books published after the late 1980's.  We will buy 
textbooks for classes, but ONLY if they will be used the following term For 
Sure.  Did i mention our low start-up budget?

Why are we doing this?
Over the years, linguistics grad students have circulated the names of the
best used book stores to go to for linguistics books--because we constantly
have to check out three or four bookstores and don't have time, we may miss
titles that we would love to have (someone beat me to a couple titles just
2 weeks ago).  By centralizing the buying and selling of linguistics texts,
we provide a service to the CU linguistics community--not just people in
the Linguistics Department, but also in Anthropology, CDSS, Education...It 
saves us all time and trouble, and no, we're not being thoroughly altruistic:
we get first scan of incoming books...
