% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

This sale includes books in the areas of chant, liturgy, and theology, as well as some rare historic items. Several are in German and Latin. Many are out-of-print. I will start with a list of titles, and if you’re interested in seeing photos and details, click “Read more…” below. Shipping is additional to the listed prices; I prefer to ship domestic with Priority flat-rate mailers because of durable boxes, insurance, and tracking.
