________________________________
Beginning with this week's Heartland Independent Best Seller List I will be choosing older titles from a select group of authors in case you may have missed them the first time around or would like to complete a collection. These are offered for sale at a steep discount. Most of these older titles (older, but not used or pre-read) are no longer available at you local bookstore. My prices include shipping! So when comparing prices make sure you add in shipping to any other site's selling price.
These books will be carried until the authors fall off the bestseller list or until supplies last, whichever occurs first. They will then be gone so be sure to place your order now.  Total Satisfaction Gauranteed. All prices include shipping to you.
I will keep only the last 4 bestseller lists active.
