Science textbooks - teacher editions

While rearranging my home office I found another stash of science textbooks.  Most are biology, with a few physics, chemistry and earth science.  I thought I'd offer to you all before I published a notice on Craigslist.

Many / most are teacher editions, and of course they're all free to a good home.

I'm in Clarendon at 1615 N. Cleveland St.  Call first so I don't miss you or in case they're already snagged (I have many more in my VT Falls Church office too, and the VT semester there begins on Monday.

I also have a few science posters - sharks, mushrooms, other fish.
