    Default 27 Books written by AT Thru hikers..

    Good afternoon;
    Over the many years I have purchased and read almost every book written by a AT Thru Hiker. I now have 27 books all in excellent condition and, at 75 years old, I figure I might put them to better use by passing them on to anyone who loves to read about the AT by those who have completed it. I have taken very good care of these book and some are collectibles. For example one book "The Trail of my Life" by Gene Espy is autographed by Gene and I just saw it not autographed on Amazon new for $105 and used for $80. If you were to purchase these books today they would cost over $500. I would be willing to sell them all for $150 and I'll pay the first $25 of the shipping. (Shipping cost based upon your Zip code.)

    I'd be interested in a rating of all 27, so I can know whether or not I should continue reading any of these books or if the ones I've read already are the best of the bunch
