FS: Vintage & Out-of-print Guidebooks (NEW 3/20)

PM'ed about Durango Sandstone

Durango Sandstone, Boise Climbs, and Chatt Steel sold.

PM for Bitterroot

Payday bump! Added Mt. Rushmore Climber’s Guide, Kelley North Carolina guide (2nd edition), and Jack Roberts Colorado Ice (including RMNP)

I have a Shopify website now! https://dirtbagdan.com/

The only difference buying via the website *should* be that instead of a flat shipping, it should calculate the actual USPS media mail price, plus a $0.50 handling fee (pays for bubble mailers, tape, etc). It's charging sales tax in Colorado but I don't think anywhere else at the moment. It's brand-new so probably a few issues to be worked out, please let me know if you notice anything amiss.

The website has some things which aren't listed in this thread currently, that's where I've been spending my time. You can definitely still purchase via MP - just send me an email!

Website looks great Dan! 

The new website suckered me right in to buying more books, worked great and easy to navigate. I will be checking back from time to time!

Thanks Scott and Blaine!!! All seems to be working, miraculously.

Sold quite a few books in the last few days! All are in the mail to their new homes.

Will continue adding inventory to the website as time allows.

Ordered a couple books from Dans new shop, they came quickly and well packaged! I’m super stoked, thanks Dan!

Bought two new collections, now around 150 items for sale on the site. Help me narrow that down!

Bump - there’s no better seller on MP!

Thanks Frank!

I acquired a chunky collection of early Rock and Ice mags - dupes of Number 5 and Number 11 are up on the site, along with a lot of five I picked out for the interesting ice climbing articles (Cody, Mark Twight, JoJo, Jeff Lowe, etc.). But not listed, I am sitting on a complete set 1-50 (keeping as a set) and some non-sequential issues 50-75 if anyone is trying to fill holes in their collection. Feel free to reach out if interested or if you think my pricing is off for these.

Also added more books - Canada, Needles, Vedauwoo, Bonington. 

Just ordered your listed copy of Winter Dance! Stoked to find one. I'm in Colorado Springs so if you're ever down this way happy to arrange an in-person pickup.

Oh heck yeah! We’ll cross paths in person soon I’m sure, but you pay that much for a book, it’s coming straight to your doorstep and as fast as possible! Dropped it off with USPS already :)

Just ordered a handful of books! 

DIRTBAG DAN DELIVERS THE GOODZ

Sunday night bump

Months ago, I borrowed a copy of an out of print Lander Rock guide which contained some key beta for an obscure zone I was interested in. Unfortunately, while in my possession this rare book was water damaged beyond the point of repair. I felt horrible and wanted to find a new copy for the friend who I’d borrowed it from. Couldn’t find one anywhere- even the authors didn’t know where I might find a copy.. I was bummed!

Then I came across this thread and Daniel’s website. I reached out to him, and two days after I put this book on his radar, he’d manifested an immaculate copy and sent it to me promptly at a very friendly price. He does, indeed, DELIVER THE GOODZ!

Thank you, Daniel! You provide an awesome service to this community. I’m buying you a beer if and when we cross paths!
