Description: I have some design and engineering books which I rescued from the Hackensack Water Company Tower in Weehawken, NJ in around 1968 (my job was to clean up old storage areas and to throw out old things no longer used there). I found these books and being an engineering student, I couldn't bear to let them go to the trash. It's now time for me to declutter, so I'm looking for a new home for these books where their age and importance can be appreciated. The price of shipping is less than the cost of one of these books listed separately elsewhere on eBay! I'm seeking only to recover my shipping costs and ebay fees, hence Buy it Now is only $5. Hopefully a collector would like to have these, essentially for the shipping cost. Thanks for looking. Some of the books bear the signatures of the owners. Here's a list of the books and what I think is their conditon.
