We are situated close to this company. We faxed them lists of things we
had, books and periodicals. They were not interested in old science
periodicals, but did take many periodical titles we had that were gifts
(on Russia, computing, history).  We had an odd assortment of gift books
which they came and picked up. They phoned ahead and we set up a mutally
convenient time. We received a check for $50.00.

          Recently another colleague and I met with a representative from the
          Archival Resource Company.  This is a fairly new company based in
          Pennsylvania that purchases all types of [print] materials from
          libraries,  and then sells those materials to other libraries and
          institutions.  According to their brochure,  they are "North
          America's most comprehensive library exchange agency".

          If anyone has done any business with this company,  I would be most
          appreciative of any information and impressions concerning your
          transactions with Archival Resource Company that you would be
          willing to share with me.

          I look forward to hearing from you!
