* * * PLEASE NOTE * * *

The links for our inventory and catalog are in EXCEL SPREADSHEET format, Excel 5.0 (.xls).

PLEASE WAIT until the entire spreadsheet has loaded; otherwise it may be truncated.

Our catalog loads the more rapidly than our inventories.

For reasons beyond our control, the spreadsheets may display widely-spaced horizontally and/or overlap text in fields in which we wrapped the text; yet more stupid Windows tricks.

You may find you have to tweak the row height and the display percentage or even download the entire spreadsheet in order to easily view the inventory lists.

Depending upon your Internet connection and the speed of your computer, opening a spreadsheet from here may be almost instantaneous or take a while.

Please understand that providing our inventory and catalog via spreadsheet was the most cost-effective way for us to do so. We would rather spend our miniscule operating budget on finding quality used and out-of-print books for you and listing them at reasonable prices rather than investing in a costly shopping cart software which would add to our overhead.

We regret any inconvenience these situations may cause you and very much appreciate your patience and understanding.

SEARCH TIP:

Select CONTROL F in the spreadsheet to bring up a SEARCH BOX then type what you're seeking such as the title or author and the cursor will alight on the first closest match found.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: The United States Congress passed legislation in August 2008 against merchants and libraries selling or lending children's books published BEFORE 1985 because of POSSIBLE lead content in the inks used to print the books. Therefore, Treasure Island Books is selling such books as COLLECTOR'S ITEMS ONLY FOR ADULT USE ONLY. It is the BUYER'S responsibility to supervise the use of such books around children, and Treasure Island Books assumes no legal responsibility thereof.

Thank you for shopping Treasure Island Books!
