FS/T: books (fishing/archery/military history/shooting/etc)

Since we have a lot of folks here listed in one or several of these topics, I thought I'd give AAPK members first shot at these. Unless noted, they are softcover and in good condition (but please do read the notes, because there are exceptions to both of those). Shipping via USPS Media Mail will run $3 for the first book, +$1 for each additional book. Buy a bunch and we can probably work out some kind of discount.

Trades: I've pretty much stopped collecting any knife brands other than Western (and Western SFOs), though WWII knives seem to occasionally appear. I can also use moose, caribou, and some elk antler--please contact me for specifics. There are a few books I'm looking for as well:
The German Shepherd Dog In Word And Picture by V. Stephanitz
The Total German Shepherd Dog by Fred L. Lanting
Genetics of the Dog by Malcolm B. Willis
The German Shepherd Dog: A Genetic History by Malcolm B. Willis
Handbook of Applied Dog Behavior and Training (any/all 3 volumes) by Steven R. Lindsay

And away we go!

Saltwater Fish and Fishing by Mojetta $4
The Nature of Boats by Gerr $5
The Complete Idiot's Guide to Flyfishing by Shook $4

Archery
Archer's Digest (2nd edition) edited by Lewis (Note: this is from back in the day before compounds took over the archery scene) $4

The Journey of Crazy Horse by Marshall (hardback with dustjacket) $5

With the Old Breed: At Peleliu and Okinawa and China Marine: An Infantryman's Life After WWII by E. B. Sledge $12 (I'm selling these together because Sledge's account makes more sense when read together)
A Perfect Hell: The True Story of the Black Devils, the Forefathers of the Special Forces by Nadler. $5 Hardback with dustjacket

The Arnheiter Affair by Sheehan $1 (this one is well-worn, stained, with the cover cracking and flaking--if someone wants it I will throw it in with the rest of their order. It is a good book, but this is not a good copy)
The End of The Line: The Seige of Khe Sanh by Pisor $1 (worn)

Shooting

Etc

Gringo, I'm honestly not sure--I'll check. I did some research on Tom Horn about a decade ago and recall reading the book but I'm not sure if I had it (or if I did, if I still have it).

Gringo-

I checked my notes--the book I was thinking of was Mickey Free, Manhunter. Lots of info on Sieber and the Apache Wars there, as well as the early career of Tom Horn. Sorry I can't help more.

one did not wish to mess with mickey free...if you wanted to live.

the seiber text is difficult to find...seiber quit scouting for the military after general miles and his crew betrayed the apache, and shipped the survivors out to florida...where most of them died...

difficult to believe shipping the apache to fort sill was a humane gesture by the department of war...as it was discovered a clear act of genocide had occured.

Argh. Can't go back and edit a post this old.

The following are sold, in addition to the books marked "sold" in the original post:
America At War In Color: Unique Images of the American Experience in World War II
With the Old Breed: At Peleliu and Okinawa and China Marine: An Infantryman's Life After WWII
Roll Me Over: An Infantryman's World War II
Currahee!: A Screaming Eagle at Normandy

Since I really hate listing books on eBay, anyone who wants to "bulk order" can have any five books for $25 shipped (in the US via Media Mail, outside the US we'll have to re-figure postage).

Thanks,
Jim
