Dear Colleagues, Does the task of weeding ever end (a rhetorical question if I've ever seen one). I have attached a list of pamphlets/journals/other materials in English, a few books in English, and some books in Yiddish and Hebrew that are available for the cost of postage. I am not a professional librarian, and ask your indulgence should you find this list filled with things I should have discarded without bothering you. On the other hand, one person's trash. . .
