For Dr. Smith's current and former students:
I retired in December, but I need to clean out my office by the end of this month. I do not have room at my house for all of my books, so I am giving away as many as I can. Current students have already taken some of them (including the coveted Late Medieval Church Architecture book 😉), but there are still many available. So if you are interested and are going to be around Bolivar sometime during the next couple of weeks, feel free to stop by. But warn my first so that I can be sure to be there to let you in.
