As we all know, Juan had a massive library. And although part of me wants to hold on to every book, I know that much of his library would be better appreciated in the hands of others. Therefore, the family has decided to pass along many of his books to those who will read and enjoy them for many years to come. Below is an ever-changing list of books that are available for adoption. If you have a loving home and would like one of these books - or want me to keep my eyes open for something else - then drop me an email: amanda.christian@gmail.com
Please feel free to forward this URL to anyone you think might be interested. I have so few email addresses for people outside of the 02-04 graduating years.
[annotated] means that Juan marked the book in some way: asterisks, check marks, written notes
[bookmarked] means that he either left bookmarks in the book or dog-eared pages of interest
